.PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean, dry, and free from wax, grease
and dust. Sand the area smooth, progressing with
sandpaper 150 to 220 grit. Vacuum surface to remove
dust. Wipe the surface clean with a lint-free cloth.
REFURBISHING – Existing finished wood may be
refurbished without complete removal of previous coating.
After using furniture polishes for many years, wood can
absorb contaminants that interfere with Varathane Triple
Thick Polyurethane. The surface must be free from wax,
silicones, oils or other contaminants, thoroughly cleaned
and abraded before applying Varathane Triple Thick
Polyurethane.
STAINING – For best results, use Varathane Wood Stains
prior to using Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane. For
other stains, follow manufacturer’s directions for
application and dry times. Apply Varathane Triple thick
Polyurethane directly over a thoroughly cured stain. Test a
sample for product compatibility.
