Choose Lifeline Ultra 2 as the lowest-maintenance solution for beautifying and protecting the natural wood exterior of your home. • Superior UV Protection • Highly Breathable and Elastic • Low-Maintenance • Environmentally friendly We recommend that you order samples and test Lifeline Ultra-2 to determine the results. Requires Lifeline Advance Topcoat *The 3-year warranty offered with the initial application of LL Ultra 2 with LL Advance topcoat, when applied to properly prepared wood and registration filed with Perma-Chink Systems, may be extended for an additional 2 years with the reapplication of the topcoat within 3 years of the initial application, for a total of a 5-year warranty.

Lifeline Ultra-2 Application Instructions
(Printer Friendly Version Here)
Application Tips
- Apply only to surfaces that have been washed clean within the previous
week. We recommend a light washing with Log Wash a day or two before
staining.
- Apply thin coats. LIFELINE Ultra-2 is a transparent stain, not a paint.
- Wait until the first coat is dry before applying the second coat.
Application Instructions
STEP #1: INSPECTION
Check for deterioration and decay. Remove and replace or repair
deteriorated wood. Unsound wood should be repaired prior to applying LIFELINE
ULTRA-2. Contact any Perma-Chink Systems office for information about wood
repairs.
STEP #2: SURFACE PREPARATION
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. Request a copy of “Caring
For Your Dream Home” from any Perma-Chink Systems office for information about
cleaning and/or removing existing finishes from your logs. 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™ Surface Sealer prior to the LIFELINE ULTRA-2
application. This will ensure proper color generation and add an extra measure
of protection to the wood.
STEP #3: APPLICATION
COVERAGE RATE – Coverage is approximately 350 – 450 square feet per
gallon for the first coat and approximately 600 – 800 square feet per gallon for
subsequent coats depending on wood type and porosity. DO NOT USE THINNERS.
STIR THOROUGHLY before and regularly during use. Wear rubber gloves to avoid
stains to the skin and fingernails. If multiple containers are used on the job,
they should be poured together to ensure color consistency. LIFELINE ULTRA-2 can
be applied with a brush or airless sprayer. 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.
STEP #4: CLEANUP
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. Please do not pollute our environment.
Dispose of containers and unused material in accordance with local, state and
federal regulations.
STEP #5: MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning with an appropriate cleaner such as Log Wash™ helps
extend the life of the finish and accentuates the beauty of your home. We
recommend 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.
STEP #6: STORAGE
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.
