Clear oil-based finish that enhances wood's natural beauty
CWF® finish is a penetrating oil finish that provides deep protection against moisture damage. When CWF is first applied, the wood will darken to a rich color, then begin to lighten depending on the intensity of sun exposure. CWF finish provides a mildew-resistant finish that won't crack, peel or flake.
Where To Use• Exterior wood surfaces such as decks, siding, shakes, shingles, fences and exterior furniture.• For exterior use only; do not use indoors.
Preparation• New wood should receive one coat of New Wood Defender™, then weather for one year before applying CWF.• Weathered wood should be free of debris, clean and dry.• Remove old weathered finishes and sealers with Flood’s PowerLift® Deck Sealer Remover or StainStrip® Exterior Stain Stripper.• Allow wood to dry two to three days before applying CWF. • Cover all areas you don’t want to coat.
Application• CWF may be applied with: Nylon, polyester or natural bristle brush, hand-or-power roller (3/4” synthetic nap cover), stain brush/pad, garden sprayer, airless spray (spray equipment: .011 - .015 fluid tip, 700 psi).• Apply two wet-on-wet coats. As one coat is absorbed (usually within 15-30 minutes), apply another.• Do not allow CWF finish to set up or dry between coats.• Wipe up excess after 30 minutes to avoid shiners.• If spraying, backbrush or backroll for uniform penetration and appearance.
Dry Time• Allow drying time from 24 to 48 hours. For continued protection, apply CWF once every two years.
Clean Up • Use mineral spirits to clean brushes, rollers and spray equipment. • Remove drips and spatters from all surfaces while CWF finish is wet. If allowed to dry, use paint remover. • CWF finish left in partially filled containers should be transferred to smaller, sealed glass or metal containers to prevent gelling.• Dispose of empty cans and saturated rags according to local regulations.LIMITED WARRANTY - CWF® Clear Wood Finish for Exterior Wood Product Safety InformationMSDS: CWF® Clear Wood Finish Low VOC
