Beger Decking Fiber Cement

Step 1: Surface preparation. New fiber cement wood – clean the surface so it is free of dust, grease and dirt and let it dry completely. Old fiber cement wood – scrub and wash off all old paint and dirt and let it dry. Fill board joints and screw holes with Beger WoodStain Fiber Cement Filler, let it dry for 1 hour (in normal weather) and then sand with No. 180 sandpaper. Tip - Stir the paint thoroughly to the bottom of the can before every application, and stir every 5 minutes during application so the pigment does not settle (otherwise the color will be uneven)

Step 2: Primer – apply 1 coat of Beger WoodStain Fiber Cement Primer with a brush or roller and let it dry for 1-2 hours. Note: recommended primer and topcoat shade pairings: Beger AquaWoodStain Fiber Cement primer FB-6301 (cream) pairs with Beger WoodStain Fiber Cement topcoat #FB-6205 (golden teak) or #FB-6202 (teak); Beger AquaWoodStain Fiber Cement primer FB-6302 (grey) pairs with Beger WoodStain Fiber Cement topcoat #FB-6201 (mahogany), #FB-6203 (oak), #FB-6204 (walnut) and #FB-6206 (redwood)

Step 3: Topcoat – apply 2-3 coats until you reach the desired color depth, letting each coat dry for 1-2 hours. Avoid storing near sources of heat or moisture
