LIMITATIONS OF USE
Apply when no precipitation is expected for 24 hours and when air and
surface temperatures are 35°F to 90°F (2°C to 32°C) and will remain
above 35°F (2°C) for the next 24 hours. If the surface is too hot to touch,
lightly mist the surface using a garden hose to cool the surface before
application of the stain. Caution: Avoid direct skin contact with hot sur-
faces. Avoid staining in direct sunlight.
While this product provides a mildew resistant coating, growth may still
occur if the substrate is not properly prepared prior to painting and/or if
the substrate is consistently exposed to conditions conducive to mold,
mildew, and algae. Examples of these conditions include, but are not
limited to, under eaves, behind shrubbery and trees, and in areas that
are consistently damp with little to no direct sunlight.
Not recommended for recently painted or sealed surfaces. Do not use
on plastic, rubber, asphalt, tile, vinyl, concrete or any non-porous sur-
face.
FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY. PROTECT FROM FREEZING.
