C2 GUARD – The Ultimate Waterproofer!
C2 PAINT GUARD – Waterproofer Ultimate Wood Protection
C2 Guard Wood is a non-toxic product designed for use on unsealed concrete and Wood surfaces. It adsorbs deeply into the surface forming a flexible polymer becoming part of the Wood’s structure. This enhanced structure resists water penetration to a remarkable degree helping prevent corrosion, spalling and cracks. C2 Guard is resistant to freeze/thaw damage and helps protect the surface form de-icing salts and pool chemicals.
C2 Guard Wood is suitable for use on any Wood surface such as walkways, driveways, curbs, steps, patios, platforms, loading docks, floors, parking decks, stucco, brick, tile (unglazed), limestone, granite, marble (unpolished) and slate.
Surface Preparation
Surface must be sound and clean. C2 Guard Wood will not fill voids or bridge cracks. Repair to structurally sound surface. Caulk and expansion joints, flash roofing and control joints as required. Make certain surface is free of contaminants such as dirt, dust, oil, grease and wax. Remove algae, mold, mildew, oil, efflorescence, curing compounds, form release agents, paint or any other ingredient that may effect penetration by power washing with appropriate cleaners. Acid etching may be necessary to increase absorption. Sprinkle water on surface after cleaning. If water “soaks in” the surface is clean and ready for C2 Guard Wood application. If the water beads, additional cleaning is required.
Application
Stir product thoroughly prior to application. C2 Guard Wood should be applied as two coats “wet on damp.” On vertical surfaces apply coating from the bottom up. Preferred method of application is brush, pad or pump sprayer. HVLP and Airless sprayers are also acceptable application methods. When spraying, ensure the surface is generously coated. If suing airless application, use low pressure and a tip size greater than 17.
Do not thin C2 Guard Wood prior to application.
Overspray: clean from unwanted areas while C2 Guard Wood is still wet with water.
Coverage rate will vary depending on the porosity of the surface being coated. C2 Guard Wood should not exceed 300 square feet per gallon. Applied as two
coats “wet on Damp”, one gallon of C2 Guard Wood will finish approximately one hundred fifty square feet.
Do not apply if product, air or surface temperature is below 35 degrees F (2 C). Keep product from freezing. Make certain temperature will stay at or above minimum application temperature for at least two hours. Do not apply if rain is imminent. Product application and surface conditions are beyond the manufacturers control. Liability, if any, is limited to replacement product only.
Do not dispose of in drains, sewers or municipal garbage. Use the entire product you purchase or give the remainder to someone who can use it. If disposal
is necessary, contact your local C2 Guard Wood dealer for recommendations in your area.
C2 PAINT GUARD FUSION – Ultimate Low Luster Wood Sealer
C2 Fusion is a polyurethane modified version of C2 Guard. It maintains the same non-toxic properties of C2 Guard with less than 2 grams per liter of VOC. The nano-particle resin of C2 Guard is blended with an internally cross-linked aliphatic urethane resin producing a soft sheen. Semi-transparent stains produced using C2 Fusion offer excellent UV resistance in addition to abrasion resistance.
C2 Fusion may be used on a variety of interior and exterior wood surfaces. (Decks, railings, shingles, log homes, garden beds, etc.)
Tint C2 Guard Fusion with C2 Guard tints. Do not use un-tinted as a clear finish.
C2 Fusion may be used on a variety of interior and exterior wood surfaces; decks, railings, shingles, log homes, flower boxes, floors, etc.
Surface Preparation
Surface must be sound and clean. Make sure wood is free of all contaminants such as dirt, dust, oil, grease, or wax. Remove any algae, mold or mildew with appropriate cleaners and wash or pressure wash off cleaners.
Green lumber often has mill-glaze on the surface. This glaze must be removed by sanding prior to product application.
Pressure treated lumber 3-6 months aging prior to application.
Wood is ready for C2 Fusion when a couple of drops of water readily “soaks in”.
For maximum performance treat all six sides of the wood, if possible, paying particular attention to the end grains.
C2 Fusion may be applied directly over C2 Guard (available in a variety of stain colors).
Application
Do not thin C2 Fusion. Stir thoroughly before and during application. Apply two coats “wet on damp”. On vertical surfaces, apply from bottom to top. Preferred application methods are brush, pad, or pump (garden sprayer). HVLP and Airless spray are also acceptable application methods. When spraying, make sure the surface is generously coated. Surface may be gently used two to three hours after application, allow 24 hours for full use.
Dry time depends on surface porosity, temperature and relative humidity.
Overspray: clean from unwanted areas with water while C2 Fusion is still wet.
During application, clean, while C2 Fusion is still wet with water. Clean application tools with warm, soapy water.
Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the surface being coated. C2 Guard Fusion should not be spread further than 300 square feet per gallon. Applied two coats “wet on damp” one gallon of C2 Fusion will cover approximately 150 square feet.Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the surface being coated.

Keep from freezing. Do not apply if product, air or surface temperature is below 35 degrees F (2 degrees C). Make certain temperature will stay at or above minimum application temperature for at least two hours after application.
Do not apply if rain is imminent.
Do not apply as a clear directly to unstained wood.
Six and ten year protection applies to wood stability on horizontal (6) and vertical (10) surfaces only.
Do not dispose of in drains, sewers or municipal garbage. If disposal is necessary contact your local C2 dealer for recommendations in your area.
