ExoShield Directions, Warranty, Return Policy

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ExoShield exterior oil finish is a high-quality deep-penetrating oil that protects and beautifies exterior wood decking, siding, outdoor wood furniture and fencing. This product includes UV stable transoxide color pigments that enhance the natural beauty of the wood grain and coloration. Formulated with pure natural Tung oil and only marine grade components, ExoShield sets itself apart from the competition. ExoShield was designed to be the best exterior wood finish ever produced. Why compromise?

ExoShield Exterior Oil Based Wood Stain

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface must be clean, dry and free of mildew stains, dirt, dust, loose wood fibers and any other contaminant. Surface must be completely dry with wood moisture content below 15%. We recommend that the wood be exposed to at least 3 days of dry weather before application of finish.

APPLICATION

Shake the can for at least one minute prior to opening. Stir material thoroughly and occasionally during application. Apply at temperatures above 45º F. ExoShield can be brushed, rolled, sprayed or applied with a cloth onto the wood surface; we recommend using a 3/8” nap microfiber roller. ExoShield will penetrate any porous surface, so be sure to protect any surface that you do not want to stain. Allow ExoShield to dry for 20 to 30 minutes, then wipe off any excess material with a clean dry cloth. Do not over apply the material. Coverage will range from 600 SF to 800 SF for hardwoods and 250 SF to 450 SF for softwoods. Multiple coats may be applied. Allow 24 to 48 hours before walking on your deck or using outdoor furniture. ExoShield is safe for indirect food contact after drying for 14 days. ExoShield SHOULD NOT be used on CUTTING BOARDS, SERVING PLATTERS, SALAD BOWLS, OR ON ANY FOOD PREPARATION SURFACES. ExoShield will achieve its full hardness within 30 to 45 days. Product may be thinned with VOC exempt solvent; clean up with Mineral Spirits. ExoShield colors may be mixed.

To avoid spontaneous combustion of oily cloths, soak in water after use and place in sealed metal container. Never use a sponge to apply ExoShield - it will self combust as the oils dry. Never leave stain soaked rags bunched up - they will self combust as the oils dry. Dispose of rags and excess unused product in accordance with local regulations.
