Application & Prep
UV Plus is a one-coat system — there’s no separate primer or topcoat. Surface prep is what determines how well it performs:
- Weathered/grey wood: Clean and brighten with Messmer’s Wood & Deck Cleaner + Brightener before staining, then let dry 24–48 hours.
- New wood: Let new redwood age 6–8 weeks before staining; other new woods should be clean and dry.
- Application: Brush, applicator pad, roller, garden or airless sprayer (0.015–0.019” tip). Maintain a wet edge; wipe off any excess that hasn’t absorbed within 30–60 minutes.
- Recoat/maintenance: Clean and re-brighten the wood with the same 2-step system, then reapply — no sanding or stripping needed for routine recoats.
