WHAT SURFACE PREPARATION IS NEEDED TO APPLY WOODGUARD?
Surfaces to be coated with Woodguard should be clean and free of all loose debris. Mill Glaze (often present on new wood) must be removed prior to Woodguard application. LogCareSolutions.com recommends X-180 Weathered Wood Restorer to clean wood and remove mill glaze. When using this product make sure that all surfaces that have been cleaned have been thoroughly rinsed with clean water. For best results make sure that all wood to be coated has a moisture content of 18% or less. Wet wood allows the growth of mold and mildew beneath the surface of the Woodguard coating. WOODGUARD IS EASY TO APPLY! Woodguard is easy to apply via brush, coarse spray or roller. Just apply Woodguard until the wood refuses to take any more. Woodguard does its job in just one initial coat. LogCareSolutions.com recommends that you apply Woodguard with a pump up type garden sprayer such as a Solo Model 425 and then back brush the product into the wood. Woodguard cleans up easily with mineral spirits. Best result
