APPLICATION AND USE:

Preparation:

PREVIOUSLY VARNISHED WOOD
In Good Condition Clean the surface with Super Cleaner. Sand smooth with 280­320 grade paper. Remove sanding
dust with thinners.
In Poor Condition Remove all previous coatings.
BARE WOOD Ensure that the surface is thoroughly degreased. Sand smooth with 80­180 grade paper and then 280
grade paper. Remove sanding dust by brushing, dusting and wiping. If wiping with solvent then allow to dry completely
before applying the first coat.
Priming bare wood: Thin the first coat by 10­15% with Thinner No.1.
Method Apply a minimum of 3 unthinned coats, more if using a roller. For best results sand smooth between coats with 320­400
grade wet or dry paper. Avoid using direct from the can. Pour the amount you expect to use in a separate container.
