Limitations DO NOT apply over sanding sealers containing silicone, wax or stearates. Do not tint. Thinning is not required. If necessary, use ALLPRO ACRYLIC URETHANE WATERBORNE VARNISH REDUCER up to a maximum of 8 oz. of REDUCER per gallon. Thinning with ALLPRO REDUCER will alter the VOC of this product. DO NOT apply coating to wood if wood is obviously moist (Moisture content above 12% as determined by a moisture meter). DO NOT APPLY WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 55ºF.

 

Surface Preparation Surface to be coated must be clean and free of dust, grease, dirt or wax. If wax is a suspect contaminate, remove with a commercial wax stripper. New interior wood must be sanded smooth.

 

Application This varnish may be applied by brush, roller or spray. Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during application. Do not shake. Best rolling results are achieved with a 1/4" short nap roller. For best brush application, use a good quality synthetic brush. To prevent streaking, do not continuously brush or roll over the wet area. Apply coating at up to 450 square feet per gallon on smooth sealed surfaces. Apply in thin coats to avoid prolonged milky appearance of the film. Two or three coats are recommended with light sanding between coats. Allow 4 to 6 hours before sanding. Best results are achieved by first applying ALLPRO Acrylic Urethane Waterborne Sanding Sealer.

 

Clean Up Clean up spills and splatters immediately. Clean painting tools with soap and water. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for thorough spray equipment maintenance.
