DAP Plastic Wood is not internally water resistant, accordingly, it relies on secondary coatings (paint, solid stain, polyurethane, varnish, etc.) for its water resistance. No water exposure should occur until after the product has fully dried and been properly coated. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: “Exterior applications and applications subject to water exposure must be sealed with a waterproof coating.” Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.
