Drying Time: (75º F. & 50% R.H.)
- To touch: 30 Minutes
- To recoat: 2 Hours
Extended drying time may be expected when conditions such as high humidity, high dew point, low temperature, etc. are present. Allow product to dry thoroughly before top coating.
Theoretical Coverage:
Apply at 265-410 sq. ft./gal. to achieve- 4.0-6.0 mils Wet Film Thickness
- 1.1-1.7 mils Dry Film Thickness
When calculating working coverage, allow for application losses, texture and porosity of surface, application technique, etc.
- Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be dry, clean and free of dust, dirt, grease, wax, oil, chalk, rust or any other contaminants that may prevent proper adhesion. New wood should be stained and sealed before finishing. Previously stained, painted or varnished surfaces should be thoroughly sanded and dusted clean before applying finish. Two coats are recommended. Sand lightly and dust between coats.
Warning! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can cause serious illness, such as brain damage, especially in children. Pregnant women should also avoid exposure. Wear a NIOSHapproved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop
- Finishing Recommendations
- New Work
- Stain: Woodshades Interior Stain Series.
- Sealer (optional): Clearguard Alkyd Sanding Sealer, v372.
- Refinishing Work
- Sealer (optional): Clearguard Alkyd Sanding Sealer, v372.
- Top Coat: Woodshades Clearguard Series.
- Repaint Surfaces: May be applied over existing coatings only after sample have been made to check the sensitivity of the existing coating. Surfaces primed and properly prepared if sensitivity or lifting occurs.
- Application
Stir thoroughly before use. Shaking will cause Air bubbles to form in finish. Apply by brush, roller, airless, HVLP, or conventional spray. Flow and leveling is best achieved by applying a full, uniform coating and working to a wet edge using overlapping stroked. Surfaces should be dry prior to paint application. Sand lightly between coats with sandpaper or nylon abrasive, not steel wool, and remove any sanding dust. All products are formulated ready for application. If needed, thin sparingly and do not exceed 2oz per gallon. Clean all applicators with mineral spirits immediately after use.
