Semi-Transparent Stains. Because oil-based and
waterborne paints form continuous films, they may form blisters
or disbond because of moisture in the wood attempting to escape.
Semi-transparent stains do not form continuous films on wood and
so do not have this problem. Thus, they are a good alternative
on new wood. Additional coats applied over the years or heavy-
bodied stains will, however, form continuous films.

Recommendations for Concrete and Masonry Surfaces.
Concrete and masonry surfaces, as well as those of stucco,
plaster, wallboard, and brick, can be coated with a variety of
systems depending upon the desired purpose and appearance.
Surface preparation is usually accomplished by power
washing with aqueous detergent solution to remove dirt and other
loose materials. Any oil or grease will have to be removed by
solvent or steam cleaning; any mildew, by scrubbing with bleach;
and any efflorescence or laitance, by brushing, followed by acid
treatment. These techniques are described more fully in
Section 6.
4.4.2.1
Waterborne Coatings. A two-coat waterborne (latex)
system provides an attractive breathing film that is normally
less affected by moisture in the concrete than non-breathing
systems. The latex material is a self-primer in this service,
