Tips for Applying to Construction Projects

• You can use nearly any type of applicator - garden sprayer, backpack sprayer, commercial sprayer, paint sprayer, brush, roller, etc.
  
• When using sprayer, a fan nozzle works well because it gives even coverage and is easy to see, and little is lost to wind.
  
• Construction: Fire'z Off may applied at the lumberyard, to create Fire Retardant Treated (FRT) Wood. Normally, FRT wood can command a 50-100% premium over regular wood, but Fire'z Off adds just pennies per foot to the cost.
  
• Construction: Fire'z Off may also be applied on site. Because it is non-toxic, no respirators are necessary, but you may want to use goggles and a simple mask. It's not toxic or irritating, but it doesn't taste good.
  
• When applying with a sprayer, always use smooth, even strokes, and try not to overlap too much. A second application may be necessary depending on the material being treated. Testing a small sample is always advised.
  
• One quart will treat approximately 100 square feet. One gallon will treat 400-500 square feet. Five gallons will treat 2000-2500 square feet.
  
• You need to get the material WET - a light misting usually isn't enough.
  
• Construction: we offer Fire'z Off in a green tint for construction projects using wood. This makes it a little easier to see where you have already treated, and leaves a light green sheen when dry. You have to be looking for it to really notice it.
  
  • Always keep in mind the surface that you are treating, and adjust your application accordingly.
    
  • Absorbency
    
  • Porosity
    
  • Weight and thickness
    
  • Natural vs. synthetic
    
  • Naturally occurring oils, like cedar shakes
    
  • Fire risk/exposure
• When applying to new roof deck, apply to underside before laying down. If applying to existing roof deck, go ahead and spray the top side - it will soak in. You can lay the felt down immediately after application. It dries quickly and discourages mold growth.

Working with Varnishes and Sealers - Fire'z Off is a solution of several different powders and agents in a water-based solution. When using Fire'z Off on outside wood directly exposed to the elements, it can lose effectiveness in one-to three years, requiring retreatment. Using a sealer, especially on outside wood, can greatly enhance the longevity of the retardant.When spraying untreated wood, allow to completely dry, then apply sealer, like Thompson's Water Seal.

On interior woods, it can be a little tricky when using an acrylic sealer, so be sure to test your process on an out-of-the-way area first. Fire'z Off may 'bloom' or whiten when covered with acrylic sealer. But this can be avoided. The recommended procedure is to treat the wood with Fire'z Off, allow to dry, and wipe the surface with a damp towel to remove any surface residue. Allow to dry, then apply your sealer.

This does not appear to happen with regular solvent-based stains and varnishes, only with acrylics.

Wiping with a damp towel does not lessen its effectiveness, because Fire'z Off soaks into the wood and bonds with the fibers.
