Ascend Exterior® Water-Based Clear Finish is a durable coating designed for exterior application on wood, fiberglass, coated metal, or painted surfaces. It contains ultraviolet absorbers for advanced sun protection, and dries quickly and cleans easily with soap and water. Use it on properly prepared exterior surfaces, such as railings, outdoor furniture, above waterline marine surfaces, as well as doors (including wood, fiberglass, and steel). It can also be used on interior windowsills and door frames for added ultraviolet protection.

Do not use on wooden decks, steps or fences, log homes, or surfaces below the waterline.

Directions

Surface Preparation:

All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, wax, grease, glue, and other contaminants.  DO NOT use over shellac, lacquer, filler, stains, or sealers containing stearates.  After sanding, remove sanding dust with a vacuum or damp cloth.  DO NOT use a tack rag to remove dust as it may leave a residue that will interfere with adhesion.

Bare Wood: Thoroughly sand surface, starting with medium grit sandpaper progressing to fine grit sandpaper. Always sand in the direction of the wood grain. Do not use steel wool.

Previously Finished Surfaces: The surface should be sanded to remove imperfections and gloss using fine sandpaper. Do not use steel wool.

Stained Surfaces: Stain must be thoroughly dry before applying clear finish. Allow oil-based stain to dry a minimum of 24 hours in good drying conditions before top coating. Do not sand uncoated stained surface.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Application
Stir thoroughly before and during application. DO NOT SHAKE. Test the finish on an inconspicuous area to ensure adequate adhesion. Ascend Exterior™ Water-Based Clear Finish appears milky in the can but dries clear. Do not apply in direct sunlight or areas of extreme air movement.

Apply with a synthetic fiber brush, foam brush, flat pad, or sprayer. A short nap roller may be used for large flat areas but must be brushed immediately to alleviate air bubbles.

Apply in full, even coats in the direction of the grain. Do not over apply. Over applying can produce a milky appearance. Do not over brush or create excess air bubbles.

Ascend Exterior™ Water-Based Clear Finish will dry to touch in 30 minutes and can be top coated after one hour. Sand lightly between coats with fine sandpaper to produce a smoother finish. If sandpaper gums up allow more drying time. Remove sanding dust.

Reapply. Allow 1 to 2 hours before recoating. Three coats are recommended for minimum protection. Additional coats are recommended for wood, fiberglass, and steel exposed to direct sunlight.

Thoroughly coat all sides of your project to ensure proper seal to protect against moisture.  If all sides are not properly sealed, moisture can seep under the existing finish and cause coating failure.

Do not use on decks or areas that are subject to foot traffic.

Maintenance
As with all exterior clear finishes, this product will not offer unlimited protection against the elements. Surfaces that receive direct sunlight may have to be re-coated annually to maintain gloss and to prevent cracking and peeling.

Thinning
Thinning is not recommended.

Coverage
At the recommended dry mil film thickness of 1 to 2 mils, coverage will be approximately 230 to 470 square feet per gallon. Coverage will vary significantly depending on application method and condition of wood.

Drying Time
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 60° and 90°F and humidity is between 30% and 70%. At 50% relative humidity and 70°F, Ascend Exterior™ Water-Based Clear Finish will dry to touch within 30 minutes and ready to top coat after one hour. Dry time will be affected by temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Protect product from freezing prior to and during application. Wait 24 hours before subjecting surfaces to light use. Care should be used during the first week after application as the finish is still curing to its ultimate hardness.

Clean Up
Wash brushes and equipment in warm, soapy water. Rinse clean.

MAX VOC: 140 grams/liter (1.17lbs/gal)

CAUTION! Do not take internally. Close container after each use. Protect from freezing. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Why use clear finishes?

Clear finishes are used to seal and protect surfaces. In many cases, clear finishes offer lasting, durable protection from abrasion, marring, and chipping. Most clear finishes also protect the surfaces from damage caused by water and alcohol. Exterior clear finishes provide protection to withstand water, weather, and sunlight.

Finally, a Ball Our Aggressive Chewer Loves and Hasn’t Destroyed Instantly!
Size: 3 PCS
We’ve gone through more dog toys than I care to admit, because our dog treats them like a personal demolition project! Since she’s a very aggressive chewer, I usually don’t expect toys to last long, so these balls were a really pleasant surprise. They were an instant hit for fetch, chase, and chew time. I love that they have a nice bounce that keeps playtime fun and unpredictable, and the bright colors make them easy to spot in the yard instead of disappearing into the grass. Best of all, they’ve held up far better than many other dog toys we’ve tried. Normally I’m cleaning up shredded toy remains within minutes, but these have proven to be much tougher. Of course, no toy is truly indestructible with a determined chewer, but these have definitely impressed me and earned their place in our toy rotation. If you have a dog that loves interactive play and tends to destroy toys at record speed, these are absolutely worth trying. Easy 5 stars from our house!

Fun and durable toy for dogs of all sizes
Size: 3 PCS
We have three dogs and one of their favorite kinds of toys is balls. These are the perfect size that all three of the dogs can play with them. We have size ranges from pug to Golden Retriever. Even the pug can carry one around. Mostly she just chases them across the floor. They are durable plastic that the dogs can chew on and so far have not punctured. They also haven't started to flake or splinter like some plastic will when it gets older. I like the bright colors because that makes it easier to find in the grass. They aren't extremely hard so if someone inadvertently gets hit with one it isn't terribly painful. They are a good weight to be able to throw repeatedly without getting a tired arm and yet they aren't lightweight so much that they don't go where you aim. When they get too dirty I just pop them in the dishwasher. I appreciate the value of getting three balls in one package.

Simple Dog Toys Done Well
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
Honestly, as far as simplicity goes, this is simplicity done right. Three simple decently sized toys in a nice bright package. They're the right size, they're the right texture, and they feel fairly well-made. They do still have that ugly little manufacturing seam running across them, so that's noticeable, but otherwise they're perfectly fine. No real issues. Nice texture, good variation of texture, and the colors are vibrant. Again, they're the right size. They're firm but not overly hard. Kind of almost like a baseball where there's a little bit of give to them, but not like they're made out of stone. So no major problems with this one. My dog has been having a fantastic time with them over the past few days.

Dog loves these.
Size: 3 PCS
The Velcro Pup (so named because she sticks to my side like Velcro) is a 32 pound Border Collie Mix with endless energy and boundless curiosity. She loves bright colors and ripping the stuffing out of all her stuffed toys and distributing it around the house. To combat that and to give her lots of playtime, I ordered these Rubber Balls. They are soft enough for her to carry around and just the right size for her to pick up and bring them to me to throw. There is a bit of texture on the Balls but it doesn't bother her the least bit. They do get slobbery after playtime but a quick rinse with water takes that right off. I do like the bright colors because the Balls are easy to see in the grass. I also use these to re-inforce training instead of food. Dog goes for it every time.

Not the best for big dogs
Size: 3 PCS
Very tiny balls, didn’t last long with my big dogs. They are very bouncy but overall don’t last long if you have a big chewer.
