PPG: Last year PPG’s Olympic brand
introduced Olympic MAXIMUM exterior stain products with Weather-Ready
Application capabilities. Exclusive to
Olympic MAXIMUM stain, the Weather-Ready Application gives consumers opportunities to stain when it may rain or if the
climate is too hot or cold. Certain opacities
of Olympic MAXIMUM stain can be applied to damp wood, which allows customers to stain even after a rain shower, and
with certain opacities, when a deck surface
becomes too hot before staining, customers
are able to mist it with water to get it an
optimal temperature. Additionally, several
of the product opacities will last even if
it rains as soon as eight hours after stain
application. Finally, the product can be applied down to 35 F, allowing deck staining
to continue even as the weather turns cold.
Now, users can stain when they want and
not when the weather dictates.
