OUTDOOR WOOD & CONCRETE DECK RENEW IT LIFETIME COATING

APPLICATION is simple, stir contents in the can as you would regular paint, pour in roller pan, load roller fully with product and roller out slowly/evenly in one direction, when roller is out of product lift up and reload with product, do not roll backwards or to the sides. You can also use a cement type brush to smoothen out the finish if a less textured finish is desired. You can use a regular Paint Brush for cutting in areas such as edges or other hard to reach parts of your deck. Please see our Small Area Roller for hard to reach areas. Renew It Coatings can be applied in direct sunlight as they are unaffected by the sun or very high temperatures. When applying, make sure you have an even coat and all cracks, chips, splintered areas are filled in, if after the first coat cracks are still present use a brush to fill in these areas with extra material before applying the second coat with roller. Let the first coat dry for approx 4 hours till dry to the touch and apply the second coat. When that dries you can use your deck again, we recommend keeping furniture off the coating for 2-3 days. Be sure to order the Renew It Deck Roller, for proper results this roller must be used. Order 1 roller per every 200 sq ft of surface. You can rinse roller out with water in between coats.

Q: How do I clean it?.

A: The finished surface is easy to maintain and clean, all that is needed to clean the coated surface is a mild liquid soap and garden hose. A light pressure washing is also ok to remove any heavy ground in dirt and grime. You can also use a fiberglass edged shovel to remove any snow during the winter months.

Q: Is it slippery when wet?

A: No. In fact it is quite the opposite since it has a grainy type finish. It is a very non slip type of finish and will have the feel of a very fine emery board on bare feet that is very comfortable for walking and barely noticeable, it's great for pool areas and it's even comfortable for pet paws! It can also be used on stairs and ramps where a non slip surface is desired.

Q: What is the coverage and how thick can it be applied?

A: Coverage is up to 100 sq ft/gal and you need to do two coats. So each can yields up to 50 sq ft for two coats. This coating is sold in 2 gallon sets, so each set will cover up to 100 sq ft with two coats. For larger areas order in 4 gallon pails. Finished coating will be about a 1/8" thick and you can fill in cracks and divots up to a 1/4" deep. Remember though that the thicker you apply it and the more cracks and divots you fill in the less coverage you will get. Coverage may vary depending on type of wood, age and dryness of your deck. We suggest ordering a extra material as a safety margin, especially if your wood is older and dried out.

Q: My deck boards are warped,can I coat them and how do I do between the boards.

A: Warped boards may require you to roll perpendicular to the boards first then roll parallel to the boards to ensure material gets down into the valley of warped or cupped boards. Use the 4" roller set for covering these boards easier. If your boards are widely spaced you can use a gallon of the smooth version and brush in a coat prior to applying the textured coating. Let the smooth version dry before applying the textured coating.

Q: Do I have to protect my landscaping?

A: No. It's 100% non toxic.

Q: Can I do the entire deck with this?

A: Yes it can be used on the entire deck, we recommend you apply it with our small area roller to the railings and posts. You can also use a brush for the railings and posts if you want a smoother finish, a brush will will yield a less textured finish. Vertical posts and railings do not get the same damage and wear as the floor so you may want to use our smooth version of this coating that is available in the same exact colors for the maximum protection of your posts and rails. See the Smooth Version below.

Q: How long will this last?

A: We have a limited lifetime warranty on product failure. It is more a questions as to how long your boards will last. Our Lifetime Deck Coating will not peel or chip off your floor boards but depending on the type of boards your deck is made of or the condition and age of the boards are when you coat them, is what will determine the life expectancy of those boards. Our Lifetime coating is not a miracle coating it cannot bring rotted, crumbling and broken boards back to life. These boards should be replaced prior to coating. Also as with all items exposed to the sun the color will start to fade in 10-12 years at which time you may want to apply one single refresher coat.

Q: Can I apply this to pressure treated wood or Trex?

A: The answer to both is yes. Pressure treated wood should be allowed to age for 6 months to allow complete out gassing. Trex should be Primer with our Flash Bond Primer first. This is a great application for Trex since Trex is the best material for longevity but most people don't like the look of it. Now you can have good looks and longevity!

Q: Can it be applied to untreated wood?

A: Yes, it's best on untreated wood and it's the best long term protection you can put on untreated wood which normally rots out fairly quickly. If possible we suggest you seal the underside of the boards with any typical Home Improvement type sealer to reduce rotting from underneath. Since the under side of the boards are not exposed to sun or traffic residential grade sealers should last a good amount of time and this will extend the life of the wood.

Q: Do I need any special tools?

A: You will need to purchase our special roller to properly apply the coating. We suggest you purchase 1 roller for every 200 sq ft of deck.
