DIRECTIONS and APPLICATION NOTES
IMPORTANT FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE USING FAMOWOOD GLAZE COAT
• For best results make sure product and room temperature are at 70 °F or higher.
Bubbles are more likely to occur when product and/or room is cold (under 70 °F).
• Some porous substrates may require two coats to limit bubbles and for a deeper
finish.
• Follow measuring and mixing instructions carefully. Product will not cure properly and
may be soft or sticky if directions are not followed. Two mixing steps are required.
• Keep dust away for at least eight hours after coating. Have a dust cover ready to tent
your project to prevent debris from falling into the finish.
• Glaze Coat should not be used on hot surfaces such as ash trays or cookware.
• NOT RECOMMENDED for projects that will be placed in direct sunlight for extended
time periods.
• Glaze Coat dries clear but may show a slight yellowish tint when applied on white or
very light colored surfaces.
• Note: If the contents in either container appear thick or solid, place containers in hot
tap water until contents return to a liquid state.
• DO NOT use on floors.
REQUIRED TOOLS:
• Three or more un-waxed paper or plastic cups or buckets with clearly marked volume
measurements with clean, smooth walls and bottom
• Straight edge stir sticks or paint paddles
• Plastic spreader, squeegee or notched trowel
• Disposable foam or paint brush for coating edges
• Flat, clean dust cover
• Waxed paper or plastic drop cloth
• Latex, vinyl or chemical-resistant neoprene gloves
• Protective clothing optional (in case of incidental drips on clothing)
• Masking or painter's tape
• Carpenter’s level
• Eye protection recommended
• Infrared or disposable thermometer (optional)
• Heat gun, blow dryer, butane torch or propane torch (for eliminating bubbles)
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Surface must be level, dry and free from oil-based stains, dust and wax. Wipe surface
with alcohol or acetone between coats. Do NOT use a tack cloth. If the surface has been
treated with any solvent-based liquids such as varnish or stain, test a separate area first
to ensure compatibility with Glaze Coat. To coat over polyurethane or acrylic finishes,
lightly sand the surface and wipe with acetone or alcohol before using Glaze Coat. To
catch drips, cover surrounding area with waxed paper or drop cloth. Allow drips to flow
freely off the sides by elevating area to be coated.
