Surface Preparation

Ensure the surface to be coated is clean and free from grease, wax or polish. White spirit or soap should be used as cleaning agents. Sugar soap should be rinsed off well with clean water and allowed to dry. If water has been used on bare wood this would raise the grain. The surface then needs to be sanded and vacuumed before coating. Newly painted wood should first be sanded should first be sanded to provide a key. Interior Heavy Duty Wood Varnish should not be applied over uncured oil base paint as this may cause discolouration. Older painted wood where the paint itself may fail, should be stripped using a hot air gun or a chemical paint stripper, sanded and cleaned prior to coating. When applied over an emulsion/latex paint, it is possible that Interior Heavy Duty Wood Varnish can draw certain stains through the paint which were not otherwise visible. In this case a stain sealer should be used.

Application

• Applied by brush, spray or roller.

• Apply 2 or 3 coats.

• On softwood, light sanding between coats may be necessary, if there is any raising of the grain.

• Allow 2 hours in between coats and 16 hours after final coat before full use.

• Do not use in temperatures below 5°C/40°F or in very high humidity. Lower temperatures will slow the final cure time.

• For a high level of protection and stain resistance apply 2 coats of satin, then 1 coat of dead flat.

Caution: Always apply to a test area before starting work. Appearance may vary according to the colour and type of wood and the number of coats. Do not apply over uncured oil paints.

Clean Up

Any equipment used can be cleaned using soap and water before the clear coat dries. Wipe any excess off surfaces with a damp cloth. Any dried deposits will need a paint stripper to remove them.
