APPLICATION & COLOUR TINTS
Enhance Both Dark & Light Color Hardwoods with WiseCoat®
WiseCoat® is a one-coat waterproofing wood finish, with a two-step application. Do not let it dry between applications. Apply the base coat maintaining a wet edge to ensure smooth and even coverage followed by second application while the first coat is still damp, but not wet.
WiseCoat® Clear: Apply a first application, maintaining a wet edge to ensure smooth and even coverage. For maximum protection, apply an additional coat while the first coat is still damp, but not wet, ideally within 20–30 minutes of the first application. Back-brush any pooling.
Brown Tints: The goal is to apply the tinted finish so that the color is visible but still semi-transparent, allowing the wood grain to show through. To achieve proper color uniformity after the first application, while the wood is still damp but not wet, within 20–30 minutes of the first application, apply the second coat until you achieve the desired color density. Back-brush any pooling.
Black and Gray Tints: NOTE: The first application coat will appear more opaque, with little wood grain visible. To achieve proper color uniformity after the first application, while the wood is still damp but not wet, within 20–30 minutes of the first application, apply the second coat until you achieve the desired color density. Back-brush any pooling.
It is highly recommended to acquire a pre-mixed sample to evaluate your color preference and product compatibility with your actual wood before commencing your project. Please be aware that the Tint color, wood species, age, and condition of your decking or siding will influence the final color and finish of all WiseCoat® products. The wood Tint swatches presented on this website serve as representations and may appear differently when applied to your specific wood project. These color tints are available through special order.
While the WiseCoat® deck and siding waterproofing system boasts a remarkable resistance to peeling or flaking, its longevity may be influenced by various factors, including inclement weather, regional conditions, and seasonal changes. Over time, there's a possibility of premature fading, wearing, or gradual erosion, particularly with frequent use and wear. Notably, newly installed smooth wood exposed to the elements will lighten faster than older, rougher wood over a similar timeframe, as the wood continues to acclimate.
