ARMSTRONG’S CLEAR

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

DESCRIPTION: A one coat, high solids clear finish for unpainted wood made up of heavy and light bodied oils. Heavy bodied oils provide water repellency while light bodied oils combined with solvent penetrate deep into the wood. Armstrong's Clear slows but does not stop the graying process of the wood.

USE: For all new or old or pressure-treated unpainted wood surfaces such as: decks, siding, shakes and shingles, fences and log homes where water repellency and wood conditioning is the desired goal. Use one of Armstrong's family of pigmented coatings for surfaces where color retention is one of the desired goals.

SURFACE PREPARATION: Surface must be clean, dry and free of dust or dirt. Wash surface with Armstrong's concentrated wood cleaner or pressure wash. Previously stained surfaces must be prepared uniformly to allow even penetration of Armstrong's product.

APPLICATION:

Decks and other horizontal surfaces

For best results, use low to medium nap roller cover or kitchen-type sponge mop applicator in a squeegee-like manner to achieve maximum square foot coverage per gallon.
