Product Guide Application Guide MSDS Guide

Application Instructions:
• Check for deterioration and decay.
• Remove and replace or repair deteriorated wood. Unsound wood should be repaired prior to applying Lifeline Ultra-2.
• All surfaces should be free from mill glaze and contaminates including dirt, dust, mold and mildew, old finishes, water repellents and wax. Use appropriate materials to clean and prepare surfaces.
• If a wood preservative has been previously applied, make sure it is completely dry before applying Lifeline Ultra-2.
• If the surface is tacky or there are visible deposits on the wood, wash the surface with water and allow to dry.
• DO NOT USE LIFELINE ULTRA-2 ON SURFACES THAT HAVE BEEN BRUSHED OR RUBBED WITH STEEL WOOL. IF YOU DO, RUST SPOTS MAY APPEAR UNDER THE FINISH.
• If more than a week has passed since the surface has been stripped or cleaned, wash down the logs with Log Wash™, rinse well and allow to dry before applying Lifeline Ultra-2.
• If the surface has been media blasted or if the wood is rough and/or porous, apply a coat of Prelude™ Clear Wood Primer prior to the Lifeline Ultra-2 application.
• This will ensure proper color generation and add an extra measure of protection to the wood.

Application Tips:
• DO NOT APPLY TO HOT SURFACES OR IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
• Do not apply when the surface temperature is below 40° F or above 90° F.
• Back brushing is required to work the finish into the wood for optimum performance. Always keep a “wet edge” to avoid lap marks.
• Lifeline Ultra-2 is unlike paints or oil borne stains. It should always be applied in thin coats. Wait for the first coat to dry (at least two hours depending on temperature and humidity) then apply a second coat. Always back brush to ensure even coverage and to avoid visible drips and runs.
• Once the Lifeline Ultra-2 has dried and you are satisfied with the appearance, we strongly recommend the application of one or two coats of Lifeline Advance Gloss or Satin clear topcoat.
• Lifeline Advance exterior clear topcoats enhance the beauty of the finish and play a significant role in protecting the wood against water, mold, and UV light, thus extending the life of the stain.
• Follow the product application directions when applying any topcoat.
• Clean area and equipment immediately with warm, soapy water. For sprayers and other commercial equipment, follow the manufacturer's directions.
• For removing Lifeline Ultra-2 that has dried, soften with alcohol or mineral spirits and then clean with warm water.
• Periodic cleaning with an appropriate cleaner such as Log Wash™ helps extend the life of the finish and accentuates the beauty of your home.
• Perma-Chink recommends that log walls be washed down at least twice a year.
• Wood checking, cracking and shrinkage may eventually expose unprotected wood.
• Apply periodic maintenance coats as needed paying special attention to the south and west sides of the home as they may have greater exposure to the elements.Store Lifeline Ultra-2 out of direct sunlight and protect from freezing.
• Although Lifeline Ultra-2 is freeze/thaw stable, if the product is accidentally frozen, allow to thaw, mix well and check for suitability of use before applying.

Product Questions

  • What's the difference between Ultra 2 and Ultra 7?

    Ultra 2 is a two-coat stain followed by a single topcoat of Lifeline Advance.  Ultra 7 was formulated to be a one-coat stain with one coat of Advance topcoat.  A second coat of Ultra 7 can be used to insure a uniform color.  

  • Can Ultra 7 be used over Ultra 2? Do I need to remove it first?

    It is best that you remain with the Perma Chink Ultra 2 stain instead of moving over to the Perma Chink Ultra 7. Even though the two are compatible, the Ultra 2 would need to be worn off enough before applying Ultra 7. If the Ultra 2 is still under warranty, definitely go back with the same product.

  • Do I need to use a topcoat over Lifeline Ultra-2?

    Yes. Once the Lifeline Ultra-2 has dried and you are satisfied with the appearance, we strongly recommend the application of one or two coats of Lifeline Advance Gloss or Satin clear topcoat. Lifeline Advance Exterior clear topcoats enhance the beauty of the finish and plays a significant role in protecting the wood against water, mold, and UV light, thus extending the life of the stain.
