FAQs

How long does it take for the product to dry?

The product becomes water repellent in approximately 1 hour, but allow sufficient time for full drying, as specified on the product label, before exposing it to heavy use or the elements.

Can I apply this product over existing paint or stain?

No, the surface must be clean and free from any previous coatings for the product to adhere properly. Remove any existing paint or stain first.

How do I clean my tools after use?

Clean brushes, rollers, and spray equipment immediately after use with the appropriate solvent, as recommended on the product label.

How many coats do I need?

One coat is usually sufficient, but very porous wood may require a second coat for optimal protection and color saturation.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage rate can vary depending on the wood type and surface porosity. Refer to the product label for specific coverage information.

Can I use this product on decking?

Yes, it is suitable for decking, fences, sheds and other exterior wood structures.

What color is Slate Grey?

The color is a modern, semi-opaque grey color, which enhances the natural wood grain.

Troubleshooting

Color is uneven.

Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed before and during application. Apply an even coat and avoid over-applying in certain areas. If necessary, apply a second coat after the first has dried.

Product is not water repellent.

Ensure the product has fully dried. Check the weather forecast and avoid application if rain is expected within 1 hour. Make sure the wood has been properly prepared.

Product is peeling or flaking.

The surface may not have been properly prepared or the previous coating was incompatible. Remove the existing finish by sanding or using a paint stripper before re-applying the Bird Brand product.
