Product Description:
This product was developed to provide exterior protection without detracting from the texture and graining of natural
wood. Two coats are recommended for maximum protection on most new or unfinished woods. A single coat is
recommended for porches, railings and outdoor furniture.
Precautions:
DO NOT use over previously painted, solid stained or varnished surfaces. Temperatures of both air and surface should
be at least 50°F (10°C) during application and drying time. Do not apply in hot sunlight or if wet weather is expected
within 48 hours. Surfaces are slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces during application. Do not
mix with oil, water or other types of paint or stain. All loose surface wood fibers must be completely removed. Storm
System stains provide maximum resistance to fading and mildew.
Architectural Specifications:
•Unfinished Wood Decks, Siding, Rails, Posts, Fences, Patios, Screening and Outdoor Furniture;
1 Coat Storm System Dual Dispersion Semi-Transparent Finish #225 Series
•Previously Stained Surfaces (after proper preparation);
1 Coat Storm System Dual Dispersion Semi-Transparent Finish #225 Series
•Pressure Treated Wood;
1 Coat Storm System Dual Dispersion Semi-Transparent Finish #225 Series
Note: New pressure treated wood must be thoroughly scrubbed with a solution of Tri-sodium phosphate and water,
rinsed clean and allowed to dry completely before finishing. Do not use interchangeably on the same substrate with
other Storm System products as you may note differences in appearance. Appearance varies with different species of
wood. Samples should be tested on the actual wood being used to insure an acceptable appearance.
Application:
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN
CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Carefully clean up with a wet mop or HEPA vacuum. Before you start, find out how to protect
yourself and your family by contacting the U.S. EPA/Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323) or log on to
www.epa.gov/lead.
This product is of proper consistency as packaged is to be applied without thinning under normal environmental
application conditions.
Surface Preparation:
All surfaces must be clean and thoroughly dry before application of this product. All mildewed areas should be
scrubbed clean with an appropriate mildew killing solution and thoroughly rinsed. Apply to rough side of clapboards for
best results.
Application:
Stir thoroughly. Additional light stirring during application may be necessary to maintain color uniformity. This product
is of proper consistency as packaged, to be applied without thinning under normal environmental and application
conditions. Clean tools and equipment as soon as possible with soap and water. Apply with synthetic brush, roller or
spray. Avoid overlapping. Product colors may vary with the type of wood. A small board of an inconspicuous section of
the house should be applied first to test the product on the actual wood. This product is self-priming on wood surfaces.
Cedar, Redwood, Cypress and some other woods contain a natural water soluble ingredient, “tannin,” that will show as
a reddish brown stain when it migrates to the wood surface. If these stains appear, they may be removed by washing
with a mild detergent solution and rinsing with clear water.
Recommended Use:
Shingles / Shakes / Clapboards / Beams / Plywood Siding / Trim / Decks
Safety Information:
Avoid contact with skin. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep out of reach of children. Protect from freezing. Do not
