- The surface to be top coated should be primed with either polyurethane primer or polyester primer white.
- It should be cleaned, well-sanded and free from dust, oil, water, and other contaminants to ensure a long-lasting effect.
- For cracks, crates and nail holes, it is advisable to fill with either Putty filler, Putty white #2185 or Polyester putty.
- Apply 1 – 2 coats of PU SEMIGLOSS (PIGMENTED) horizontally and vertically.
- One coat may be sufficient for an ordinary finish, however; one additional coat can be applied wet on wet if necessary. Light sanding with 400-600 grit sandpaper is recommended before subsequent coats when recoating time exceeds 3 hrs.
