DEFY® Deck Sealer Uses

DEFY® UV-Resistant Clear Wood Finish can be used on interior or exterior wood surfaces including: wood siding, log homes, decks, fences, shake shingles, outdoor wood furniture, pressure treated lumber and all other natural wood surfaces. Maintenance of this clear deck stain is easy! A quick application of DEFY® Wood Brightener will generally clean and restore previously treated surfaces to their original appearance. Once cleaned, a single coat application of this deck sealer will provide long-term beauty and protection. The surface should be recoated annually or when graying initially starts to appear.

UV-Resistant Clear Wood Finish goes on milky white and dries to a clear, flat finish with little to no change to the natural look of your wood. It is sold in 1 and 5 gallon containers and covers 100-150 square feet per gallon depending on wood texture and porosity.

Easy Deck Sealer Maintenance

Periodically, as the surface begins to get dirty or dull, simply wash it down with a mild detergent and water. As the weather begins to wear away at the surface and the color begins to fade, a maintenance coat will need to be applied. To check the surface to see if it is ready for a maintenance coat, simply sprinkle a little water on it. If the water is immediately absorbed into the wood, then it is ready to be recoated.

The first step in the maintenance process is to apply a coat of Wood Brightener. This will lighten any minor graying and clean the surface. Allow the surface to dry 24 hours followed by a single coat application of UV-Resistant Clear Wood Finish as directed on the label.

All of the DEFY® deck sealers contain powerful sunscreens to block damaging UV rays. Ultra violet rays cause wood to turn gray and become susceptible to water penetration and decay. UV-Resistant Clear Wood Finish contains synthetic resins that do not attract mildew and algae like other natural resin (oil-based) stains do. Additionally, this water repellent deck stain reduces water penetration up to 90%.
