DECK GUARD SKID-TEX™

DECK GUARDIAN SKID-TEX™ is a sand pumice mixture additive that can be added prior to coating to create a beautiful texture finish with excellent anti-skid properties.

Stir well before using. If applicable, add desired amount of DECK GUARDIAN SKID-TEX™ by using a mechanical mixer. Gradually add the DECK GUARDIAN SKID-TEX™ as you are spinning the product. Do not apply when temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, or when humidity is very high.
Do not apply to extremely hot surfaces or in direct sunlight. The surface must be dry and free of all moisture. On uncoated wood, reduce the first coat only, with 1 pint water per gallon to achieve penetration. Coat from a dry area into an adjoining wet coated area. Keep the leading edge wet and distribute the product evenly. Quickly remove puddles and excess material. Use natural breaks as boundaries and coat individual boards from end to end.
Do not apply when coating will be subjected to rain or heavy dew before it has had enough time to dry (approximately 1 to 2 hours). Drying time will vary from location to location depending on weather conditions.

Stir product occasionally during use, especially when DECK GUARDIAN SKID-TEX™ is added. Apply using brush, roller or appropriate spray equipment (hopper type sprayer will be necessary when DECK GUARDIAN SKID-TEX™ is being used). Do not apply too heavily so that puddling occurs. When spraying, back roll with a thick nap roller cover. When rolling, use a thick nap roller cover. Sets to touch in approximately 1-2 hours. Wait at least 12 hours before recoating. Two coats of DECK GUARDIAN™ are recommended. Extremely cracked and damaged surfaces may require additional coats. Apply as it is from the container, unless otherwise specified. Wait 24 to 48 hours for foot traffic, and at least 72 hours before placing any furniture on the coated surface, depending on weather conditions.
