you can pour and spread at one time.
STEP 4: SURFACE BUBBLES
Surface bubbles MUST be removed when surface is still wet, not once surface begins
the curing process or else bubbles will turn into dimples.
Use a heat gun, blow dryer, small handheld propane torch or butane torch to remove
bubbles. Keep flame 6 to 8 inches above surface (8 to 10 inches for heat guns) and use a
slow, sweeping motion. Move heat source over freshly poured Glaze Coat several times
until surface is bubble free. Be sure to use a waving action so the surface is only slightly
warmed, allowing remaining air bubbles to disappear.
STEP 5: CURING
To achieve best results, apply at temperatures between 70 and 80 °F. Both Glaze Coat
and the item to be coated should be approximately the same temperature.
NOTE: These curing times are to be used as guidelines only. Warmer temperatures will
yield faster cure times.

STEP 6: CLEANUP
Use acetone or alcohol for tool and work area cleanup. Glaze Coat can only be cleaned
while it is still in a liquid state. Once cured, paint remover or sanding is required.
CAUTION: Always use plenty of soap and water to wash skin.
LARGE AREA APPLICATIONS– TABLE TOPS, BAR TOPS AND LARGE ITEMS:
For best results, the following steps must be taken before applying Glaze Coat to large
surface areas. Unless highly experienced with Glaze Coat, do not attempt to mix more
than one gallon at a time.
• Determine how much you are going to mix at one time and how large an area it will
cover.
• It is recommended to have a helper to speed up the mixing and application process
for large areas.
• Optimal time to pour is when mix reaches 90 °F (32 °C).
• If the surface has previously been used and oils, waxes or acids from citrus could be
present, it is recommended to strip the finish to bare wood. After Glaze Coat has been
applied, these foreign substances can migrate to the surface. This would cause the bond
to break down and rippling to occur.
• Large surface area applications require mixing in large batches and should only be
applied by a professional who has more in-depth knowledge and prior experience.
After the sealer coat has been applied and has had at least 4-5 hours to set up,
subsequent layers of Glaze Coat can be applied. If surface area requires more than one
gallon per coat, it is best for two people to mix separate gallons simultaneously. Allow
the sections to flow into each other. Do not put layers on top of each other while they
are still wet.
• See Steps 4, 5 and 6 regarding surface bubbles, curing, and cleanup.
