AEROSOL DIRECTIONS

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. Lead

is Toxic. Contact the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log

ontowww.epa.gov/lead.

1. The surface must be dry and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax,

grease, polish, dirt or other foreign matter.

2. Sand to obtain a smooth, uniform surface. Remove all dust.

3. If desired, apply stain, such as Minwax® Wood Finish™ Stain, to unfinished,

interior wood surfaces. Follow directions for application instructions and dry

times.

4. Shake Helmsman® vigorously. Shake for 10 seconds occasionally during use.

5. Protect adjacent areas from overspray. Wet overspray can be removed with

mineral sprits.

6. Hold can vertically 12 inches from surface. Depress button fully and spray

using an even, sweeping motion with slightly overlapping strokes. On

unfinished wood, apply sufficient material to seal open joints, edges and end-

grain.

7. Apply thin coats to avoid runs and sags. Recoat within 1½ hours. If unable to

do so, wait a minimum of 72 hours, then lightly sand and recoat.

8. Apply at least three coats on exterior surfaces. For interior surfaces, apply at least three coats on unfinished wood and two coats on surfaces already finished. 9. 18. After final coat, allow 24 hours before normal use. Note: Above dry times are based on good ventilation temperature of 77°F and 50% relative humidity. Lower temperature, higher humidity, lack of air movement or application of thick coats will extend drying times.
