Preparation

Surface Condition: Ensure the area is sound and properly prepared. It can be used over bare wood as well as previously painted, stained, or varnished surfaces.

Cleaning: Surfaces should be clean and dry. It is especially useful for restoring the appearance of weathered coatings.

Testing: It is always advisable to carry out a test patch (approx. 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility with existing coatings and to confirm the final finish.

Application

Environmental Conditions: Do not apply when the ambient temperature falls below 10°C. Best results are generally achieved in warm, dry conditions.

Method: Suitable for application by brush, roller, or spray (airless or conventional).

Layering: Can be used as a protective topcoat for both wood and metal.

Colours Available: Clear (High Gloss).

Pack Sizes: 1 Litre, 2.5 Litre, 5 Litre.

(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)
