Preparing Your Deck for BEHR Premium DeckOver
Before applying BEHR Premium DeckOver, it's crucial to prepare your deck surface for optimal results. Follow these steps:
- Clean the deck thoroughly to remove dirt, mildew, and other contaminants. Use a deck cleaner or a solution of bleach and water for tough stains.
- Allow the deck to dry completely, ideally for 48 hours, to ensure the surface is ready for painting.
- Inspect the deck for any damaged or loose boards, and repair or replace them as needed.
- Sand the surface lightly using 80-120 grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots and promote better adhesion.
- Remove any debris or dust from the sanding process using a broom or shop vacuum.
Applying BEHR Premium DeckOver
Once your deck is prepared, you're ready to apply BEHR Premium DeckOver. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Choose the appropriate application method: a paintbrush for detailed areas, a roller for larger surfaces, or a sprayer for even coverage.
- Pour the product into a paint tray and begin applying it to the deck, working in small sections to avoid lap marks.
- Apply a thin, even coat, using the grain of the wood or the pattern of the composite/vinyl material as a guide.
- Allow the first coat to dry for at least 1 hour before applying a second coat. For best results, apply a total of two to three coats, allowing each coat to dry completely between applications.
