Directions on a Paint Can!

This is a quart size paint can purchased at Lowes. I am re-staining my front porch railings with this product. This product is expensive, about $100/gal., so I have to follow the directions on the can.

However, I cannot read the directions because the font size is so small. Even with a magnifying glass, the writing is too small. Why? Half the writing is in Spanish!

My Hispanic friends can’t read the instructions either. Two different languages crowded onto one paint can. This approach serves no one!
