TWP 200 Product Uses:
Cedar shakes and shingles, piers and docks, wood decks, fencing, split rail fencing, landscape timbers, log homes, wood siding. Product may be applied to old and new wood surfaces.

Surface Preparation:
NEW WOOD: All new wood must be thoroughly saturated and exposed to either rain or water; to open wood grain and remove excess surface tannins. Allow a minimum of 48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP® 200.

OLD WOOD: Replace any cracked or severely cupped shingles. If the surface is 15% defective, it is advisable to re-roof. Rinse surface with 3:1 mix of water and household bleach to remove mildew; use wood bleach to brighten wood and follow with 1500 p.s.i. power washer to remove dead surface fiber. Allow a minimum of 48 hours of good drying conditions before applying TWP® 200.

PREVIOUSLY STAINED WOOD: Remove all of the old finish with power washing or paint stripper when necessary. Failure to remove the existing finish will result in a blotchy TWP® 200 applications due to uneven penetration and discoloration of aged finish.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING TWP 200! Airless spray is the most common method of application, though brush and roll may be used for smaller areas. After product selection and a minimum 24 hours of drying after cleaning, product may be applied. There are many pumping mechanisms to apply product.

Walking on TWP® 200 before it is dry will cause tracking. TWP® 200 should be applied at 100-250 sq.ft/gal. Rate will vary depending on wood porosity. Remove excess or puddled material that has not penetrated after 15 minutes on horizontal surfaces with a paint pad or dry roller. Single coat application only. Allow drying for a minimum of 48 hours.

Dry Time: 48-96 hours depending on drying conditions. Drying conditions will vary greatly depending on applied film thickness and weather conditions.
