Our best-selling C2 Guard product protects and seals your wood or masonry surface from within. The innovative technology applies unique properties that might be unfamiliar to you, so please read the label carefully and note these helpful tips.


Open the can carefully.

This water-based product is looser than water (in scientific terms, it has less surface tension), so handle carefully because it will splatter.

Test it first.

Try out the product first in an inconspicuous area so you can perfect your application technique. It takes a minute to get used to because it's a very loose liquid.

Apply wet on damp.

C2 Guard is applied wet on damp, which means: apply the first coat and before the first coat dries completely (still damp), apply the second coat.

Wear paint clothes.

Don’t wear your Sunday best as the product will stain. Make sure to also cover areas you want to protect, like floors.

Grab a towel.

When you’re closing the can, place a paper towel or cloth over the can before sealing the lid to avoid splatter.
