5.) For maximum durability, a minimum of 4 coats is
recommended
6.) Clean spray button immediately after use by turning
can upside down and pressing spray button for 10
seconds or until only clear gas comes out.
APPLICATION (Brush)
1.) Stir thoroughly before and during use. DO NOT
SHAKE, shaking will create bubbles in the finish.
2.) Apply using a good quality, synthetic bristle brush,
foam brush, or applicator.
3.) Allow finish to dry minimum of 2 hours before re-
coating. Lower temperatures and/or higher
humidity may cause slower dry times. Re-coat only
when previous coats have dried clear and feel hard.
(Should no longer feel tacky to the touch.) A
powder should develop when lightly sanded. If any
coat has dried more than 24 hours, lightly sand
before re-coating to avoid brush marks.
4.) Apply additional coats following directions above.
A minimum of 3 coats is recommended. If grain
raise occurs, sand smooth before final coat. Allow
finish to dry 24 hours before light use. Wait 3 days
before subjecting surface to normal usage.
