260 LINE
100% ACRYLIC EXTERIOR LATEX STAINS
COVERAGE
Rough Surfaces: 150 – 250 sq ft/gal
Smooth Surfaces: 300 – 400 sq ft/gal
Coverage figures will depend greatly on the porosity and texture of
the wood that is to be stained. This product is designed to be put
on so that the wood grain shows through the coating. If a higher
film build is desired then one should use paint instead of stain. Two
stain coats are recommended for maximum durability.
DESCRIPTION
#260 Line of solid color 100% acrylic latex stains have been
formulated to combine the ease of application, fast drying and
water clean-up of latex paints with the durability and wood
protection qualities of oil base stains. The 260 Line 100% Acrylic
stains give excellent results when applied to new or previously
stained wood, on vertical wood and masonry surfaces such as
siding, fascia, trim and fencing. This is a solid color stain that hides
wood and grain color, but does not obscure the actual texture or
grain pattern. The 260 line is not recommended for horizontal
surfaces such as decks, furniture, porches, patios, etc.

COLOR
This line is available in two bases that can be tinted to a variety of
custom colors with universal colorants. Extremely dark colors are
not recommended due to the large amount of colorant required.
Dark colors will also hide most texture and grain patterns.
¹ Anti-Microbial – This coating contains agents which inhibit the growth of
microbes and mildew on the surface of this paint film.
² #260 Line is self-priming, primer not required. Darker colors will require
primer for uniform sheen.

SURFACE PREPARATION
WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other
means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to
lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse
health effects, especially in children or pregnant women.
Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances
requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a properly
fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and
cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information
Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local health
authority.
GENERAL
The surface to be painted should be dry and free of any loose,
powdery, or peeling paint as well as all mildew, dirt, chalk, wax,
grease, rust or other foreign contaminants. Remove grease and oil
from the surface with a detergent solution, rinse thoroughly, and
allow the surface to completely dry.
WEATHERED OR PREVIOUSLY STAINED WOOD
Repair/Caulk all cracks and fill all small holes or surface voids with
filler and then sand to smooth finish. Previously stained wood or
wood that has been exposed for any prolonged period of time must
be cleaned by pressure washing. This process is required to remove
*Colorants added to this base paint may increase VOC level
significantly depending on colorant choice.

THINNING
This product comes ready to apply, but if thinning is needed for
spray application, thin with 1/2 pint (8 ounces) of clean water to
one gallon of paint.
CLEAN-UP
Warm, soapy water
all of the old gray “dead” wood fibers that lie on the top of the
wood surface. When dry, scrape off and sand any remaining loose
flaking or peeling coating. Any mildew or algae must be killed and
removed from the substrate before applying this product. Conduct
a splash test on any bare wood surface to confirm water
adsorption before applying this product.
NEW WOOD
Any uncoated new wood must have open pores in order to accept
the stain. Pressure treated lumber may have excessive wax or
internal moisture content. New Cedar or Redwood may have mill
glaze on the surface. These woods need to be thoroughly cleaned
and a splash test conducted before staining. Long–term adhesion
and durability can be impaired by an unsound or poorly prepared
surface.
CEMENT COMPOSITION SIDING
Remove all any loose, powdery, or peeling paint as well as all
mildew, dirt, chalk, wax, grease, rust or other foreign contaminants.
Allow surface to dry thoroughly. If a new surface, test for pH. The
pH must be below 10 before staining or a primer like #697 should
be used as the first coat.
MILDEW
Wash mildewed surfaces with a solution of 1 part household bleach
to 3 parts water. Scrub mildewed surface if necessary, and rinse
thoroughly. Follow bleach manufacturer’s directions for use and
wear appropriate protective equipment including eyewear, gloves,
and protective clothing. Wash any contacted skin immediately and
thoroughly with copious amounts of water. Never add ammonia or
detergents to a bleach/water solution.

The technical data contained in this data sheet is accurate to

representative.
APPLICATION
PRECAUTIONS
Do not stain if the temperature of the air, surface, or paint is above
90°F or below 40°F and/or the temperature will go below 35°F for
the next 48 hours. Do not stain late in the day when dew or
condensation is likely to form or when rain is threatening. Do not
try and stain too large an area at one time and fail to maintain a
"wet edge." Failure to maintain a wet edge will result in lapping.
Other ways to minimize lapping are to not paint in direct sunlight or
on hot surfaces and to apply a second coat if lap marks are present.
This is crucial when applying the product to bare wood.
Freshly treated ACQ and CBA lumber is often a greenish brown
color and will turn to a light tan color after exposure to sunlight.
Once this color change happens, the wood will not discolor the
latex stain applied. If the lumber is stained before the wood is
seasoned, the preservatives may discolor the latex stain. Redwood,
cedar, plywood and Douglas Fir contain tannins that will bleed
through latex stains and may discolor light and pastel colors. This
tannin bleed through will highlight the grain pattern and knotholes
in the wood surface. If the tannin bleed through is not desired, then
an oil-base stain or oil-base primer #160 should be used.
EQUIPMENT
Apply product by a quality synthetic brush, 3/8” - 3/4” nap
synthetic roller cover, conventional or airless spray. (Tip size .015”–
.019” tip @ 2000 psi.)
