FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY

Use DeckStrip to strip and restore outdoor wood

decks, fences, siding, shakes and shingles, boat docks &

boardwalks, outdoor furniture & décor, gazebos & arbors,
play sets and more.

WOOD TYPES:

Use on all wood types, including pressure treated

lumber, Cedar, Redwood, exotic hardwoods (Mahogany,

Ipé, Teak, etc.), and North American hardwoods.

Note:

To strip acrylic or latex deck stains,semi-transparent,

toners, tinted wood protectors or sealers, etc.

select Wolman DeckStrip ASR Acrylic Stain Remover

and use according to label directions.

Before You Start:

Make sure entire wood surface is dry and free of

dust, dirt and debris. If the surface is hot to the touch or in

direct sunlight, dampen with fresh water to cool.

Apply when outside temperatures are above 40°F.

Pre-rinse grass, plants and shrubs surrounding the wood structure

to be stripped, then cover foliage to protect it from exposure to the
product. Mask off siding and cover all wood surfaces not intended to be stripped.

Cover any exposed aluminum surfaces (siding and flashing) to prevent

corrosion. Protect adjacent concrete surfaces from rinse

water. Sweep away surface dirt and debris. Remove any

standing water before beginning application.

Weather Conditions:

For best results, apply when outside temperature is above 50°F

(10°C), and when 24 hours of precipitation-free weather is

expected. Surface to be stripped should be out of direct sunlight

to avoid premature evaporation of the product.

A synthetic bristle brush or mop, pump sprayer or airless sprayer

(with no aluminum parts)is recommended. When working on

vertical surfaces start at the bottom and work to the top of the

structure.

Safe Handling directions must be followed to avoid exposure to

over-spray.

CAUTION:

Bare wood and/or coated surfaces can become slippery when wet.

Use caution when walking on wet surfaces.

Prepare to Use:

Moderately shake container, then pour into sprayer tank. If

using a brush or mop, pour product into a 2-1/2 gallon plastic bucket.

Do not mix with any other products.

Apply:

Working on 20 sq. ft. at a time to maintain optimum surface

wetness, apply product and let sit for 15 minutes. If stripper dries

prematurely, keep it wet with additional product as needed.

Brush or Pressure Wash:

Briefly scrub surface with a Wolman WOODWORX® Deck Brush

or other stiff, synthetic, short-bristle broom or brush, using

moderate pressure or pressure wash, using a 40° tip and 1,500

-2,500 PSI for pressure-treated wood and hardwood, 500

-1,000 PSI for Cedar and Redwood. Move lengthwise with boards to

avoid cut marks across grain. Ensure old coating is entirely

dissolved and removed.

Rinse

If pressure washing is not employed, after brushing, rinse

thoroughly with a garden hose,using the highest pressure

nozzle setting available. On a vertical surface, continually rinse

stripped areas to avoid streaking. Rinse any wood fibers off

surrounding surfaces immediately. When dry, surface should

appear clean, bright and free of previous coating.

Repeat steps 2-4on each 20 sq. ft. section until entire surface

has been stripped. When finished, rinse surrounding grass and

plants thoroughly.

Note:

After stripping Cedar, Redwood or exotic hardwoods,

black tannin stains may rise to the surface and give wood an

overall darkened appearance. If this occurs,treat affected areas

with Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener liquid concentrate

to restore the natural wood color.

DeckStrip is not designed to remove tannin bleed stains.

Clean Up:

Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with soap and

water. Use water or vinegar-soaked rag to wipe off any drips or

spills on unintended surfaces immediately.

Safe Handling:

During preparation and application, wear rubber or plastic

coated gloves and safety goggles. If applying with a sprayer,

wear a NIOSH-approved full-face respirator with an organic

vapor cartridge and N-95 pre-filter. Care should be taken to

cover any exposed aluminum surfaces to prevent

discoloration, as this product is corrosive to metal.

DO NOT MIX WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS, especially

those containing chlorine or bleach (sodium hypochlorite). Rinse

grass and plants with water after exposure .
