About this product

A deck coating with a tight recoat window of 12 to 24 hours at 25°C, a much narrower band than most coatings. Miss the maximum and the sheet's recoat rule no longer applies.

Using this specific product

WEG W-Deck is listed here as the Deck coating, three-temperature table version for deck coating and walkway coating. For coating steel or industrial surfaces, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Deck coating, three-temperature table; related versions can use different timing.
  • For deck coating and walkway coating, pay particular attention to surface preparation, film thickness, temperature, dew point and pot life.
  • It is 4 hours at 10°C and 1 hour at 35°C. It is 12 hours at 10°C and 8 hours at 35°C. It is 36 hours at 10°C and 20 hours at 35°C. It is 14 hours at 10°C and 10 hours at 35°C.

How to check readiness

Check dry film thickness and the recoat window before the next coat. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Lift or move the item gently and avoid twisting the bond or pressing finished faces together. The sheet gives a maximum recoat of 24 hours at 25°C.

Avoid this mistake

Recoat windows can close; past the maximum, abrading is usually required.
