Key Takeaways

• Preparation is Key: Shake the product well and allow it to defon before application.
• Proper Technique: Use the snow plow method for an even application.
• Feathering: Smooth out any marks for a flawless finish.

Tools Required

To successfully apply the Pro Coat Splashdown Wood Sealer, you will need:

• Dura Tool Lightweight T-Bar: This tool is essential for applying the sealer evenly.
• Pro Coat Splashdown Wood Sealer: The main product for sealing wood surfaces.

Preparing the Product

Before you start applying the sealer, it’s crucial to prepare the product correctly:

1. Shake the Sealer: Shake the Pro Coat Splashdown Wood Sealer for 30 to 40 seconds to ensure it is well mixed.
2. Vent the Lid: After shaking, vent the lid to allow any built-up pressure to escape.
3. Defon Time: Let the product sit for 10 to 15 minutes to achieve the right consistency for application.

Application Process

Once the product is prepared, follow these steps for application:

1. Pour the Sealer: Start by pouring a 4 to 5 inch bead of the sealer along the length of the wall.
2. Pre-Dampen the T-Bar: Slide the T-Bar along the sealer to pre-dampen it, which helps in achieving a smoother application.
3. Use the Snow Plow Method: Hold the applicator at an angle and draw it along the wall. This technique is known as the turn of your applicator.
4. Manage Excess Product: If your applicator becomes heavy with the finish, press it out and continue moving the finish down the wall.
5. Feathering Technique: If you notice any turn marks, use the feathering technique to blend the product back in for a seamless look.
