- ISOLATOR #100 is normally applied by spraying 1 – 2 coats to insulate a stained wood or when humidity may interfere with catalysis or polyester.
- ISOLATOR #100 can be applied more than 2 – 3 coats by brush with an interval of one hour per coat to insulate palisander or walnut veneer, and apply polyester varnish after 4 – 5 hrs. and no longer than 48 hrs.
- In the application, if melamine coated surface, it is advisable to use isolator #100 with 10% Catalyst #016 on a slightly sanded substrate for proper anchorage. Ensure that the surface to be coated is clean, free from dirt and contaminants.
- If the applied isolator has been dried for more than 24 hrs. proper sanding is required and another thin coat and let’s dry till tacky prior to the application of the subsequent coat.
