Surface Preparation

Bare Wood

1. Sand thoroughly with medium to fine grit sandpaper, always moving in the direction of the wood grain.
2. Remove dust with a tack rag to ensure a clean surface.

Previously Finished Surfaces

1. Sand to remove imperfections and gloss using 220-grit sandpaper.
2. Clean the surface with a tack rag.

Stained Surfaces

1. Ensure the stain is completely dry before applying the polyurethane.
2. Do not sand the uncoated stained surface to avoid uneven application.

Note: For a finer topcoat, applying Old Masters® Oil-Based Sanding Sealer before the clear finish is highly recommended.

Application Instructions

1. Stir Thoroughly: Stir the polyurethane well before and during application. Avoid shaking the container.
2. Tool Selection: Use a pure bristle or polyester brush, flat pad, or spray gun. For large flat areas like floors, a lambswool applicator is recommended.
3. Application Technique:

• Apply in full, even coats along the direction of the grain.
• For wood floors, maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

4. Drying Time:

• Allow 3 hours to dry to touch and 6 hours before recoating under ideal conditions.
• Overnight drying is recommended for best results.

5. Sanding Between Coats:

• Lightly sand with 220-grit sandpaper to promote adhesion and a finer finish.
• Remove sanding dust with a tack rag before the next coat.

6. Reapply:

• Two coats are standard, but high-traffic areas may require additional coats for optimal protection.

Additional Tips

• Always test the finish on an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
• Avoid direct sunlight and extreme air movement during application to prevent uneven drying.
• Use mineral spirits or paint thinner for cleanup, ensuring compliance with local VOC regulations.
