Application: Allow 48 hours after last exposure to moisture for substrate to thoroughly dry. Watch local weather forecasts BEFORE you apply TWP® to assure no rain or cold temperatures 2-3 days after application. TWP® can be applied using a brush, roller or sprayer. Brushing or spray immediately followed by brushing provides best results. Use minimum amount of pressure for proper spray pattern to reduce misting and wasting of product. Select correct spray tip adjusting sprayer to avoid uneven application and sags in material. Use a stain brush to pick up accidental sags or runs. Check the spray pattern by spraying against scrap plywood or wallboard. Don’t start spraying until you’re comfortable with spray pattern results. Avoid over spray by using a small cardboard or professional spray shield. Remove over spray immediately with mineral spirits. Tape off driveways, brick, sidewalks, painted surfaces, vinyl siding or any type of masonry with plastic as TWP® will stain other substrates. Back brushing with a thick, natural bristle brush will help achieve color uniformity, lessening run off and waste of product.

Follow first saturation coat with moderate to thin second coat to prevent excessive surface build.
