Where to use

Dilutions

  • To strip old finishes and grade stamps use undiluted.
  • To reduce mill glaze, add 1 part Prepdeck to 4 parts water except for Ipe. For Ipe add 1 part Prepdeck to 1 part water.
  • To clean, dilute from 1 part Prepdeck to 5 parts water up to a maximum of 1 part Prepdeck to 20 parts water, depending on the condition of the surface.

Application

  • Shake or stir product well before and during use including diluted solutions.
  • Use Prepdeck as is or dilute according to “Dilutions” above.
  • Keep surface wet with Prepdeck while it is working.
  • After rinsing ALWAYS neutralise surface with Net-Trol except where Tropitech is the chosen finish.
  • Do not use a wire brush to scrub the surface.
  • Work large areas in zones.
  • Allow wood to dry thoroughly, 2-3 days before refinishing.

Stripping and Cleaning

  • Work in areas that can be completed in 15-30 minutes.
  • Apply Prepdeck to the area to be stripped or cleaned and allow to work.
  • After appropriate time test a small area with a nylon scrubbing brush to see if finish or dirt is lifting. If lifting; scrub the area with a stiff nylon brush, deck brush or use a Power Washer at 1000-1500 psi (70-103 bars) depending on the type of wood. Always work in direction of the grain. Rinse with copious amounts of fresh water, using the highest pressure from the water source available or use a Power Washer at 500-1000 psi (35-70 bars) working in direction of the grain. (Rinse adjacent areas at the same time).
  • Note: The use of hot water makes the job easier.
