Flood CWF-UV Clear Wood Finish


CWF-UV is a clear wood finish that’s designed to restore the rich, warm appearance of natural wood. CWF-UV protects against damage caused by moisture and ultraviolet rays, and provides a mildew-resistant finish that won’t crack, peel or flake.

BASIC USES
• For exterior use only
• Weathered exterior woods including Cedar, Redwood and Pressure-Treated Wood
• Horizontal and vertical surfaces such as decks, siding, fences and furniture

SURFACE PREPARATION
GENERAL DIRECTIONS:
1. Surfaces must be thoroughly clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings.
2. Remove mildew with a solution of 4 ounces of non-ammoniated detergent (TSP), 1 quart of outdoor bleach and 3 quarts of fresh water. Allow this solution to remain on the surface for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Clean weathered wood with Flood Wood or Cleaner Flood Dekswood®.
4. Remove old finishes with Flood Wood Stripper or FloodPro® Stripper/Cleaner.
5. After cleaning, allow wood to dry 48 hours or until it has reached a moisture content of 15% or less before finishing.

NEW WOOD SURFACES:
New wood surfaces have a hard shiny surface called mill glaze that prevents maximum penetration and bonding of a finish. To properly prepare the surface for application, treat with a solution of Flood Wood Stripper, diluted one quart per gallon of water. Test wood for absorbency by sprinkling water on the surface. If water is absorbed rapidly, the surface is ready for finishing.

WEATHERED WOOD SURFACES:
Uncoated wood surfaces that have weathered longer than six months require thorough cleaning before applying a finish. Use Flood Wood Cleaner® or Flood Dekswood® (according to label instructions), along with a pressure washer or stiff bristle brush to remove the loose fiber, dirt and other surface contaminants.

PREVIOUSLY COATED SURFACES:
Apply to bare wood surface or a weathered wood surface that was previously finished with CWF-UV. Other previous stain, varnish or sealers must be completely and thoroughly removed with Flood Wood Stripper or FloodPro® Stripper/Cleaner per label directions, before proceeding.
NOTE: Cedar and Redwood may darken with Flood Wood Stripper or FloodPro Stripper/Cleaner. If this occurs brighten with Flood Wood Cleaner or Flood Dekswood before proceeding.

APPLICATION TOOLS
• Brush: High quality, synthetic stain brush
• Roller: Synthetic, woven cover 3/8”-3/4 “ inch
• Spray: Air-Less sprayer .017 - .021 fluid tip/ 1800-2100 psi or less

APPLICATION
CAUTION: Surfaces are slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces during application.
1. Stir. Use as is, do not thin.
2. Mix thoroughly before and periodically during application.
3. For color uniformity, intermix in one container, all finish to be used on
an entire section.
4. Cover everything you do not wish to coat, including plants and shrubs.
5. Apply between 50°F and 80°F.
6. Do not apply if cold and/or wet weather is expected within 48 hours.
7. Always work the entire length of a deck board or horizontal siding to
a logical break, such as a window or door frame.
8. Vertical siding should be coated from top to bottom.
9. Never stop application in the middle of the board or wall.
10.Never apply in direct sunlight or to hot surfaces.
11.For external use only, do not use indoors.
12.In most cases a single coat of CWF-UV is sufficient.
13.For porous or older wood, apply a second coat before the first coat
dries (usually within 20 minutes). Do not apply a second coat if the
first coat has dried.
14.After spray application, back brush or backroll to improve penetration
and uniformity of coverage.
15. Wipe up any puddles to avoid shiny areas, (within 20 minutes).
NOTE: CWF-UV is not a surface coating. It protects by penetrating the wood.

COVERAGE
• 150-250 sq. ft/gal (13.9-23.3 sq. m/gal)
• Coverage varies based on age and density of wood

DECK MAINTENANCE
• Most decks do not have to be coated every year
• A single coat of CWF-UV® every second year will be sufficient to refresh the natural beauty of your deck and to maintain protection
• Between recoats, a periodic cleaning with Flood Wood Cleaner or Flood Dekswood Cleaner to remove dirt and contamination will renew the appearance of the wood
• On siding and other vertical wood including fences, exterior furniture, use as directed in steps 1 through 3 under “Application”
• Surfaces with harsh exposures to the sun, weather or foot traffic will show wear more quickly than other areas – If this happens, clean effected areas with Flood Wood Cleaner and recoat as necessary, blending into areas which still have good color
• For general recoating follow directions in “General Surface Preparation” and “Application”

SIDING MAINTENANCE
• Vertical surfaces do not require annual maintenance
• Surfaces with harsh exposures to the sun and weather will show wear more quickly than other areas – If this happens, clean effected areas with Flood Wood Cleaner and recoat as necessary, blending into areas which still have good color
• Areas retaining good color do not need recoating
• Badly weathered areas may require 2 coats (apply the second coat before the first coat dries). Do not apply a second coat if the first coat has dried.
• Backbrush or backroll to improve penetration and uniformity of coverage

CLEANUP & STORAGE
• Cleanup with soap and water
• Store unused portion in tightly closed container
• KEEP FROM FREEZING

Flood-Floetrol


Floetrol is a latex paint additive that makes interior and exterior latex / acrylic paint flow and level like oil-based paints while compensating for the adverse effects that weather and surface conditions have on paints
and primers.

BASIC USES
• Help paint flow better, eliminating brush and roller marks
• Allow paint to adjust to difficult weather conditions, such as extreme hot and cold temperatures or high humidity
• Extend paint's drying time to create faux finishing effects
• Provide a spray-like finish
• Reduce tip clogging; avoid piston freeze-up when spraying
with a cup gun
• Extend life of the spray gun and spray equipment parts
• Improve spray pattern and assure better coverage
• Minimize “holidays” when rolling or brushing interior wall
• Reduce roller pressure on surface and avoid build-up of paint
on edges of the roller pattern

BRUSHING OR ROLLING
DIRECTIONS:
1. Shake container well.
2. When paint pulls, sets too fast or does not level properly, add Floetrol
until the paint spreads smoothly, easily and provides sufficient
wet-edge time.
3. Always mix a small amount of Floetrol with paint to test compatibility.
4. If compatible, add Floetrol to the latex paint following these guidelines:


WHEN PAINTING WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add approximately 8 oz. (1/2 pint) per gallon of paint.
2. If pint is thick, or in extreme temperatures, more Floetrol may be gradually added, up to 16 oz. (1 pint) per gallon.
3. Stir Floetrol / paint mixture thoroughly.
4. Paint as usual.

WHEN PAINTING WITH AN AIRLESS SPRAYER
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add up to 32 oz. (1 quart) per gallon of paint.
2. Stir Floetrol / paint mixture thoroughly.
3. Paint as usual.

WHEN PAINTING WITH A CUP GUN SPRAYER
DIRECTIONS:
1. Floetrol acts as a stir-in lubricant.
2. Helps cup guns work with acrylic/latex paints.
3. Mix at least 4, but not more than 8, ounces of Floetrol into each
quart of paint.
4. The amount depends on the consistency and flow properties of the paint.
NOTE: The amount of Floetrol added will not change the color or sheen of flat or semi-gloss latex or acrylic paint. Floetrol may reduce the sheen in gloss paints.

FAUX FINISHING
DIRECTIONS:
1. Using an empty container or dispensable cup as a measuring device, mix 3 volumes of latex (acrylic) paint to 1 volume of Floetrol.
2. The more Floetrol you add to the mixture (glaze) the more open time you will have and the more translucent the finish will be.
3. Do not add too much conditioner for vertical surfaces as technique may sag or vanish.

COVERAGE
• Coverage of Floetrol will vary depending on use

CLEANUP & STORAGE
• Clean tools and equipment with soap and water
• KEEP FROM FREEZING

Flood-Penetrol

Penetrol® is a free-flowing, low-odor, high quality penetrating paint additive which compensates for the adverse effects that weather and surface conditions have on paints and primers.

BASIC USES:
• Increases adhesion, penetration and flow of oil-based or alkyd paints, varnishes, and primers
• Restores luster to faded, weathered fiberglass
• Acts as a rust inhibitor on metal surfaces
• Diminishes lap & brush marks

GENERAL PAINTING FOR INTERIOR & EXTERIOR WORK
ADD TO OIL-BASED PAINT OR PRIMERS
DIRECTIONS:
1. Stir and mix oil-based paint thoroughly.
2. Always mix a small amount of Penetrol with the paint you are using to determine compatibility.
3. As paint begins to set up too fast or “drag”, stir in Penetrol. Begin with approximately one pint (16 oz.) Penetrol per gallon of paint.
4. If paint is thick, or in extreme hot or cold temperatures, more Penetrol may be added (up to 2.5 pints per gallon of paint).
Note: For brass, copper, aluminum and chrome, scrub surface with fine steel wool soaked in Penetrol and polish with a clean rag.

CONDITIONING BARE OR RUSTED METAL
DIRECTIONS:
1. Remove loose rust, excess dirt, oil and grease.
2. Be sure surface is dry.
3. Saturate the metal with Penetrol.
4. Allow 12-24 hours for drying.
Note: For brass, copper, aluminum and chrome, scrub surface with fine steel wool soaked in Penetrol and polish with a clean rag.

CONDITIONING FIBERGLASS
DIRECTIONS:
1. Clean surface to be conditioned.
2. Saturate a rag with Penetrol, wipe it on fiberglass surface.
3. Buff surface with a clean, soft cloth within 3-5 minutes.

FAUX FINISHING
DIRECTIONS:
1. Penetrol, mixed directly into oil or alkyd-based paint, will improve the brushability of your paint and level of the base coat
2. Penetrol keeps paint from drying too fast thus increasing the working time of your paint and glazes
3. The more Penetrol you add to the mixture (glaze) the more open time you will have and the more translucent the finish
4. Do not add too much conditioner for vertical surfaces as the technique may cause the paint to sag or vanish
5. Using an empty can or disposable cup as a measuring device, mix 3 volumes of alkyd (oil Paint) to 1 volume of Penetrol.

COVERAGE
• Coverage of Penetrol will vary depending on use

CLEANUP & STORAGE
• Store in a tightly closed container away from heat and flame.
• Cleanup with mineral spirits

Zip-Strip Trigger Spray Paint & Finish Remover

Zip-Strip Trigger Spray Paint and Finish Remover is designed with easy application in mind. Its special formula sprays as a liquid so it penetrates into hard-to-get places like scrollwork, carving, spindles and filigree. Upon contact, Trigger Spray gels to a semi-paste consistency with clingability so it stays put, even on vertical surfaces. A fine initial spray begins the softening process. After five minutes spray a second time to activate further penetration, removing four to five coats or more. Zip-Strip Trigger Spray Paint and Finish Remover strips household paints and clear finishes, enamel, oil and latex paint, urethane, polyurethane, shellac, lacquer, water-based finish and spar varnish. It is non-flammable, and excellent for interior as well as exterior use. Just spray it on and remove with steel wool, a scraper or even wash off with water (Use of water may loosen veneer or raise wood grain. This would make it necessary to re-glue veneer or to sand the wood after it is thoroughly dry, prior to refinishing). Capable of removing 4-5 coats of paint.

Previously Finished Floors or Wood Surfaces:Remove old finish in poor condition. If the old finish is shellac or contains wax or any stearate, regardless of the condition, remove it completely then follow surface preparation for New Wood Surfaces. If old finish is still sound and good, screen the work surface with a #150 screen disc, #180 grit sand paper, maroon pad or similar. Remove dust completely by sweeping, vacuuming and wiping the work surface with a lint free cloth lightly dampened with water. The work surface and room temperature should be at least 65°F.

Remember to keep a wet edge as you work. Feather all turns and stops in the direction which the applicator was pulled. When you reach the end wall, pull the applicator around in a sweeping motion, without lifting it from the floor. Feather turn, and gently touch any missed spots. Apply at recommended coverage in thin coats.

Application over stain: Absco Grand should adhere well to most stain, but a test for adhesion over brands other than Last•n•Last stain is recommended.

POLYCARE WOOD FLOOR CLEANER


POLYCARE WOOD FLOOR CLEANER
PolyCare Cleaner is the safe effective cleaner for polyurethane coated surfaces. PolyCare is formulated to clean effectively, without leaving any soapy haze or residue on the floor. Ideal for all polyurethane treated, factory pre-finished and laminated residential and commercial/sports floors, as well as cabinets, furniture, railings, counters and woodwork.

Product Properties
Color: Clear Yellow
VOC :Not Applicable
Freeze Thaw Stability: Stable
Flashpoint: Not Applicable


Directions:
The floor should be swept or vacuumed prior to cleaning for optimum results. Mix PolyCare with warm water at a ratio of 2 ounces per gallon of water. We recommend using a good quality mop, or for large surfaces, several large cotton towels. When using a mop, make sure to ring it out so not to flood the surface with water. Damp mop, rinsing as often as needed. When using towels, soak the towels in the bucket of PolyCare solution. Make sure that they are thoroughly wet. Wring out a towel to remove excess moisture until it is just damp. Wrap the towel around a broom and wipe the floor, going with the grain of the wood, until the floor is completely free of dirt. If spot cleaning is desired, pour the mixed PolyCare solution into a clean spray bottle. Don’t spray the mixture directly on the surface, but on a rag, sponge or towel, before wiping.

Important:
Do not apply PolyCare Cleaner from the bottle directly to the wood surface. Excess liquid may be absorbed by the wood fibers, and may damage or discolor the wood surface. PolyCare has been formulated for use on polyurethane coated surfaces, it is not recommended for use on wax, wax impregnated, or unfinished wood surfaces.

Proper surface preparation is essential to achieve a high quality finish. Read the MSDS sheet and wear proper protection, which may include gloves, eye protection, and/or other protective devices.

Surface Preparation:
New or Newly Sanded Floors or Wood Surfaces:Prepare the floor according to NWFA or NOFMA accepted standard. Make a final cut with 80-100 grit sandpaper and screen with 120-150 grit screen. Apply LNL-100S or LNL-100SA followed by 2 or 3 coats of LNL-500X. Remove dust completely by sweeping, vacuuming and wiping the floor or work surface with a lint free cloth lightly dampened with water. The floor or work surface and room temperature should be at least 65°F.
Previously finished Floors or Wood Surfaces:Remove old finish in poor condition. If the old finish is shellac or contains wax or any stearate, regardless of the condition, remove it completely then follow surface preparation for New Wood Surfaces. If old finish is still sound and good, screen the work surface with a #150 screen disc, #180 grit sand paper, maroon pad or similar. Remove dust completely by sweeping, vacuuming and wiping the work surface with a lint free cloth lightly dampened with water. The work surface and room temperature should be at least 65°F. Two to three coats work best on previously finished surfaces.

REMEMBER TO STIR THIS PRODUCT BEFORE AND DURING USE. LET IT STAND FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER STIRRING.

Application:
Apply in well ventilated area by nylon brush, or synthetic waterborne applicator at room temperature and not in direct sunlight. Last•n•Last 500X looks milky when applied, but will dry to a clear, beautiful finish. Pou a 6-8” wide line of the finish along the starting wall. Apply the finish with the grain of the wood. Using a clean pre-dampened waterborne applicator, pull forward with the grain of the wood, moving the finish towards the opposite wall. Holding the applicator at a snowplow angle will maintain a wet edge at all times.( Maintain at least 3” wide wet edge to ensure proper coverage). At the end of each run, turn the applicator towards you and pad out the applicator parallel to the wet edge. Feather out turns. If pushed too hard or fast, drips will fly off the applicator. Missed areas can be touched up if seen right away.To prevent lapping and dry marks, be sure you are using the recommendd overage. Do no spread too thin. Screen the work surface in between coats with any of the following #150 screen disc, #180 grit sand paper, maroon pad or similar. Remember to vacuum and tack thoroughly after screening to remove all dust. Allow minimum of two hours between coats, or until thoroughly dry. Heavy finish application, high humidity or lack of airflow will extend drying times. If waiting longer than 24 hours between coats, sanding is recommended.

Application over stain:
Last•n•Last 500X should adhere well to most stain, but a test for adhesion over brands other than Last•n•Last stain is recommended. Use Last•n•Last Classic Wood Stain following instruction on label. Allow the stain to dry a minimum of 24 hours under good conditions. Make sure the stain is completely dry before applying the finish or sealer.

Drying Time:
When applied according to directions, and in thin coats, Last•n•Last 500X should be dry to the touch in 1 hour. Allow a minimum of 2 hours between coats. Heavy finish application, high humidity or lack of airflow will extend drying times.The floor can be walked on after 24 hrs. Last•n•Last 500X cures in approximately 2 weeks. Please allow the finish to be fully cured for area rugs or mats to be put down. The floor is susceptible to scuffing and marring before full cure.

Maintenance:
Last•n•Last 500X never needs waxing. We recommend Polycare Floor Cleaner as the safe and effective cleaning product for all polyurethane coated surfaces. It has a unique soap-free, no rinse formula which will not harm polyurethane or varnished wood surfaces.
