Below are our instructions posted on our website CedarShield.com. There is also a wonderful instructional video that goes along with this text, so I highly recommend you view that as well. Be sure to send us any of your questions, comments, or concerns!
CedarShield is not considered a hazardous compound. However it is recommended to wear eye protection and gloves when handling paints and solvents. Use soap and water to wash away any spillage or to remove any accumulation on your skin. Avoid eye contact. If eye contact occurs, flush liberally with water. If you spill some on your clothes, we suggest you change clothing as any long term exposure to a solvent could create a rash. Always wear a breathing mask when using air assisted spray equipment. If protective clothing is not worn during overhead treatments, we suggest a change of garment is in order upon completion of the treatment process. Application is best accomplished in the heat of the day (around 70 degrees Fahrenheit). Apply CedarShield to a defined area of approximately 100 square foot or less or until the application appears to be resisting rapid penetration. Move on to the next designated area and repeat as necessary. Make sure that you have enough liquid to finish the defined area as partial treatment will not produce a lifetime result. Treatment from both sides is not necessary however adequate amounts of CedarShield must be applied to insure total penetration. For added Ultra Violet surface protection you can re-treat the surface with CedarShield at any later date. The absorption at that time will be minimal and the solution will be contained to the top surface area of the wood. Oil based stains or paints are recommended for application to CedarShield wood. A 24 hour waiting time is recommended for Oil Based Stains or Paints. A 72 hour waiting time is required for Water Based Stains. Surface wear areas such as walkways and heavy traffic will experience higher levels of wear resistance when coated with oil based products. Paints and Stains will experience a extended adhesion when applied over wood treated with CedarShield as the wood will no longer “move”, the phenomenon that is responsible for rejection of all deck, dock, fence coatings and paints. Store unused product in an area free from any open flame.
