How to do...

1. Basic cleaning
The wood must be completely clean, dry and free from resin, grease, oil, wax, lime and cleaning residues. Use Wood Cleaner for the thorough cleaning.

2. Sanding

– of new wood surface:
Sand with sandpaper grit 120. Remove any sanding dust from the surface with a vacuum cleaner before applying the lacquer.

– of wood surface to be re-lacquered: Remove loose chips and soap residues from the surface. Sand carefully with sandpaper grit 120. Remove any sanding dust from the surface with a vacuum cleaner before applying the lacquer.

– of surface with old oil lacquer too damaged to be repaired:
Lacquered surfaces which are severely damaged must be levelled and sanded to bare wood. Start the sanding with sand- paper grit 36. Continue with grit 60, 80, 100, and end with grit 120. Remove any sanding dust from the surface with a vacuum cleaner before applying the lacquer.

3. Preparation
Stir the lacquer carefully before and during use. Edges may advantageously be given a coat with a brush prior to the application of the large surface.

4. Lacquering

– First application:
Apply a thin coat of lacquer with brush or lacquer roller. Leave the lacquer to dry for approx. 6 hours. Make intermediate sanding with sandpaper grit 120 after the drying time of 6 hours. Remove any sanding dust from the surface with a vacuum cleaner before applying next coat.

– Second application:
Likewise apply a second thin lacquer coat with brush or lacquer roller. The lacquered surface may be used after 24 hours. The surface is completely hardened after 1 week.

Please notice:
• Cannot be re-lacquered with a water-based lacquer.
• Risk of self-ignition! Due to the risk of self-ignition
it is important that sanding dust and oil wetted cloths are soaked in water and disposed of in a tightly closed container after use.
