Application

• Sand the veneer/wood along the grain with papers of grit 120/150. An orbital sanding machine can also be used with the same grits.
• For woods with carving or grooves, Scotch Brite Handpads or Steel Wool must be used for sanding.
• Brush on a coat of wood preservative along the grains for exterior woods and allow to dry for 3-4 hours.
• If the wood has been polished previously using traditional Spirit based polish, apply a coat of wood filler using a putty knife or muslin cloth after sanding and wood preservative application. Allow to dry for 3-4 hours.
• Using a dent filler, fill major dents and imperfections using a putty knife.
• Apply the 1st coat of interior/exterior sealer by spray, brush or roller depending on the depth of the grains, along the grain. For 2K systems, the hardner has to be mixed in the given proportion - Be sure to allow for sufficient maturation time and to use the material within the given pot life. Dilution of up to 10% is allowed using clean water.
• Allow to dry for 4-5 hours.
• Sand the 1st coat using 180/220 grit sand paper. A white powder as a result of sanding is an indication of successful application and curing of sealer.
• Apply a 2nd coat of sealer and repeat the process followed for the 1st coat.
• Once sealer coats are completed, apply 1st coat of topcoat matt or glossy by spray or roller. For 2K systems, the same precautions apply. Dilution of upto 10% is allowed using clean water.
• Apply a 2nd top coat after 5-6 hours.
• Buffing operations can be taken up for glossy topcoats after about 12 hours and within 4 days from the time of application of the 2nd topcoat.
