Description

ALLPRO® Fast Dry Polyurethane Finish is an economical and durable varnish formulated with polyurethane resins to provide maximum protection on interior wood surfaces. It is resistant to abrasion and household chemicals. Available in Satin and Gloss finish.

Prominent Features

  • Abrasion resistant
  • Beautiful finish
  • Does not contain lead, mercury or formaldehyde
Uses Ideal for use in residential and light commercial environments. Perfect for coating interior floors, trim, furniture, paneling, doors or cabinets.
Limitations Do not tint. Thinning is not advised. This varnish should not be used over shellac or alcohol soluble sealers, lacquer sealers or lacquer soluble sealers. Do not apply at temperatures below 50ºF.
Surface Preparation All surfaces must be clean, sound, dry and free of rust, grease, oil, mildew and loose particles before painting. Sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion. Sand with the grain and remove all dust. If necessary, use a stearate free paste wood filler on open grained wood. When a sealer is required use a stearate free sanding sealer such as ALLPRO Fast Dry Polyurethane Sanding Sealer. On old painted or varnished surfaces in poor condition, remove the old finish with a varnish remover; clean all traces of varnish remover with a suitable solvent; patch or seal if necessary and sand lightly. Metal surfaces must be cleaned thoroughly of dirt, dust, lint, grease and oil. Use an ALLPRO Tack Cloth for removing last traces of dust or lint.
Application Mix thoroughly before using. May be applied with a clean brush or spray. If spraying, be sure spray equipment is properly cleaned and functioning. Flow on full even coat with the grain and avoid excessive brushing. Allow a minimum of 18 hours drying time between coats, and 24 hours for complete dry. Re-coat work must be done within 24 - 48 hours. Sand surface lightly between coats. For maximum protection on all exterior work, apply 3 coats of varnish. Two coats provides adequate protection for interior work. Three coats may be applied for greater depth of luster and higher gloss.
Clean Up Clean up spills immediately. Clean painting tools with mineral spirits. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for thorough spray equipment maintenance.
Disposal Contains organic solvents which may cause adverse effects to the environment if disposed of improperly. Place empty containers in normal refuse for disposal. Contact your local sanitation department or household hazardous waste coordinator for information concerning possible reuse or disposal of unused solvent-containing adhesives and/or sealants.
