INSTRUCTIONS

to horizontal and vertical surfaces
including all joists, rim joists,
beams, steps, stair stringers,
blocking, ledger board, under
joists hangers and other surfaces.
» When pulling deck boards
onto the deck, a piece of
plywood or wafer board can
be used to overhang the edge
of the deck. This will prevent
the product from rolling up
and pulling up from the joist.

making it convenient to apply to all
wood surfaces.
