Preparation

If applying to previously finished wood, sand surface to remove old coatings before applying new finish. If sanding the entire surface is not desired, sand areas of distress that can cause flaking. This allows blending of edges. Dust and wipe with a water-dampened cloth.

Test the finish on a sample piece of wood to confirm compatibility and desired appearance.

Application

• Stir well prior to use. Apply with brush, floor pad or t-bar.
  
• Apply thin, even coats taking care to prevent the finish from forming puddles. Overlap strokes and always maintain a wet edge.
  
• Sand lightly after first coat with very fine sandpaper (220 grit or finer).
  
• Vacuum dust and wipe with a water-dampened cloth and Vermont Natural Coatings Wood Cleaner. Never use steel wool or a tack cloth.
  
• Apply second coat.
  
• After second coat sand only if 24 hours have passed since the previous coat was applied. Sanding, vacuuming and cleaning between coats will aid adhesion and create a smoother surface.
