Surface Preparation:
- This product is formulated for application over dry finishes only.
- All wood surfaces must be dry, clean and free of all contaminants.
- A final top coat is required for protection and durability.
Application:
Do:
- Use over lacquer-based finishes.
- Apply over a clear finish.
- Hold can approximately 12-18 inches from the surface and lightly spray toner over the area.
- Allow at least 5 minutes of dry time for each layer.
- Apply several layers of color for best results.
- After desired look is achieved, apply a final top coat.
Don't:
- Apply heavy or wet coats; this could result in color separation or a painted look that will cover the natural wood grain.
- Do not apply to raw wood.
Dry Time:
- Relative humidity will affect the speed of drying.
- Dry time will be faster at higher temperatures and lower humidity. Dry time will be slower at colder temperatures and higher humidity.
Problem Solving:
- Color separation: May be the result of spraying too heavily or closely.
- Clabbering: Indicates a chemical reaction or incompatibility.
- Gummy streaks or runs: Could be teh result of inadequate dry time between coats or too heavy coats.
Tricks of the Trade:
- This toner is designed to be used in a lacquer system.
- To spot test, lay a piece of clear glass on the surface to be toned and spray a light coat or use the WFS Color System. This will give a representation of the final results.
