FastenMaster Limited Warranty

FastenMaster Deck Frame Coating
FastenMaster® warranties its Deck Frame Coating for the life of the project. When used in accordance with the installation instructions and within the limitations stated in the supporting technical literature, the long-term performance of this product is covered under the terms of this limited warranty.

What is covered
When properly handled, stored, and applied in accordance with FastenMaster’s published instructions, this limited
warranty covers against the peeling, cracking, UV degradation, or adverse reaction of this coating with decking and
fasteners. This coverage includes preservative-treated exterior wood applications with the following exceptions:

• The coating is applied over wood surfaces contaminated with dirt, mildew, or mold.
• Application while temperatures fall below 35 degrees.
• Direct contact with solvents or solvent-type adhesives.

Best Practices
For maximum performance, the installer should follow directions on the packaging including the following steps:

• Stir coating for 3 minutes after opening to fully mix contents prior to application.
• Allow the wood surface to dry before applying. Wood should not be wet to the touch.
• Use a 3/8” nap roller with sufficient coating to easily cover the wood section without thinning.
• Avoid spreading coating until the roller runs out as this may degrade the roller and leave thinner coverage.
• The coating should remain dry for 12 or more hours to cure properly. Delay applying if rain is forecasted within this period.
