Instructions

Step 1

Before coating the decking, prepare the surface by removing dust, impurities and residues of products already applied. We recommend two ways.
Method 1
Use a sander with 100 grit sandpaper without applying too much pressure, and then move on to a thinner sandpaper (150/180 grit). Clean the decking with a broom or a dry cotton cloth.
Method 2
Apply the Cleandeck anti-graying detergent (CLEANDECK) with a brush and wait 15 minutes before rinsing with running water. Then use a dusting brush for a deeper cleaning. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours.

Step 2

Now that the surface is ready to be coated, open ICADECK (DCK01 - WALNUT). During the application, follow the wood grains by moving the brush harmoniously and, most of all, don't leave any uncovered areas. Out tip: when opening the can, mix the product well for at least one minute to reduce its high density.

Step 3

Have you already applied the first coat of product? Has your decking already changed aspect? We suggest to wait for at least 1-2 hours before applying the second coat. This product will ensure excellent color uniformity.
