Uses

EnviroMax formulas were specifically designed with ease of use on interior wood furniture, millwork, kitchen and bathroom cabinets exposed to moisture, heat, and household chemicals.

Application

Application Procedure

EnviroMax is formulated to be a self-sealing system. Always agitate thoroughly before application. Apply 2-3 coats at 3-6 wet mils on sanded substrate. The second or third coat should be applied after complete drying of the previous coat. For easy sanding between coats use 280-320 grit fre-cut (no-fill) sandpaper. Always sand prior to recoating. The total dry film build should be at least 2.5 mils and should not exceed 5.0 dry mils. EnviroMax should be applied when temperatures in the spray room are at a minimum of 68°F (20°C).

Note: Hot spray application is not recommended. If hot spray equipment is used, temperature settings should never be over 110°F or 43° C.

Mixing

Mix well before using. Material may separate during long-term storage.

Equipment Clean Up

  • Use Standard Lacquer Thinner C16036 or VC16036 Fast Reducer VOC Exempt to clean up all equipment.
  • Dispose of dirty solvent and cleaning rags in a safe and approved manner.
  • Solvent or lacquer-soaked rags should be stored in water-filled, closed containers prior to disposal.

Surface Preparation

  • New Work: Remove any dirt, grease or other contamination and sand as required. If desired, apply WoodSong II stain as directed by the specific M.L. Campbell Product Information (PI) Sheet, prior to finishing.
  • Old Work: Strip old finishes completely and remove all contaminants from the surface. Make sure surface is dry. Finish as new work.

Reduction

No reduction is required; however, small amounts of M.L. Campbell Standard Lacquer Thinner C16036 or Care Reducer may be used if required for specific equipment. If blushing occurs use M.L. Campbell C161 1 Care Retarder.
