Yes, BlackTop can be applied to wood and cures to a durable, UV-stable black finish, though expect less coverage per gallon than on a smooth metal surface.
BlackTop applies to wood and provides a durable, UV-stable black finish, whether the wood is bare or already sealed. Because wood is porous, particularly bare or rough-cut wood, expect the coverage rate to run up to 50 percent lower than on a smooth metal surface. Apply BlackTop by brush, roller, or sprayer the same way you would on metal, and plan on more than one coat to get full, even coverage on bare wood.
A note on unverified thinning instructions: an earlier version of this page recommended thinning the first coat 50 percent with KBS #1 Thinner as a wood seal coat. That specific ratio does not appear in the current BlackTop TDS or application directions, so it has been left off this page pending confirmation. If you are working with raw, unsealed wood and want a sealing recommendation, contact our technical team before you start.
