SURFACE PREPARATION AND CLEANING

Failure to properly clean surface of dirt and contaminants will cause loss of adhesion (blistering and peeling). Surface must be clean, dry and free of loose wood/wood fibers, dirt, grease, mildew and algae.

Olympic RESCUE ITComplete ALL of the following steps:

  • Secure loose deck screws, raised nail heads or loose decking boards.
  • Replace rotting or severly damaged boards and remove all loose splinters.
  • Scrape to remove peeling paint/stain.
  • Clean with OLYMPIC Premium Deck Cleaner and rinse well to remove cleaning product residue and contaminants. Repeat cleaning steps as many times as necessary to remove ALL dirt, mildew, grease and algae.
  • Pressure wash using LOW to MODERATE pressure (High pressure may damage wood surface and cause product to fail) Allow wood to dry completely (minimum of 24 hours).
  • Use coarse sandpaper to remove any loose wood fibers and then remove all sanding dust—it will interefere with bonding.
  • Fill wood cracks and depressions larger than ¼” with an exterior paintable sealant caulk. Try the crack test—if two quarters fit inside, caulk it.
