What happens if it should begin to rain when applying Natural Deck Oil?

CK — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:40:06 +0000

Observe if there is any “white “ spotting on the surface. If there is, that means the Natural Deck Oil has not properly formed its water resistance property yet. We suggest using wood wash to remove the failed wood stain and leave it to dry out completely and wait for favorable conditions to reapply. The dry time between coats is 2 hrs (temperature >15 degrees centigrade).

Light rain should not affect the Natural Deck Oil unless it started to rain immediately and the stain was washed out. Other than that Natural Deck Oil is “water friendly”; curing time might be prolonged. Second coat might be applied when the first coat is dry to touch. Cure time varies depending on weather conditions (function of temperature and humidity). It is always better to put the second coat shortly after the first one feels dry. Leaving the job for the next day might be OK but only if the temperature is < 60f and there is no direct full sun exposure.

Can A-MAZ Water Stain Remover be used on Bullet Proof or similar type glass?

CK — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:51:53 +0000

No. Bullet proof glass is made from Laminated Polycarbonate and often goes by the brand name of Lexan, Tuffack, or Cyrolon. Also, some bathroom shower doors are made from similar materials to prevent shattering if broken. Unfortunately, doors made from this material will absorb moisture and etch the glass, making it extremely difficult to clean.

Under “Toughest Challenges” on the De-Solv-it® container it says to let the product setup for 8 to 24 hours. If I am trying to remove Silicone Grout from a vertical surface how can I do that?

Meccanator — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:15:19 +0000

It is recommended that you apply the De-Solv-it product with a rag or sponge to saturate the area/product to be removed. As De-Solv-it is an oil type of product it is not going to dry out, instead it will absorb into the Silicone and begin to break it down. Applying the product with a rag or sponge will minimize any runs to the surrounding area and also aid in removing the product from the grout.
