APPLICATION AND USE:

Preparation BARE WOOD:

Sand smooth with suitable grades of paper finishing with typically 280-320 grade paper. On oily timbers degrease thoroughly and apply Epiglass Everdure as a sealer prior to applying Perfection Varnish.

PREVIOUSLY VARNISHED WOOD:
In Good Condition: Wash down with fresh water to remove salt deposits. Remove any oil, grease or similar contamination using Surface-Prep. Sand smooth with 280-320 grade paper. Remove sanding residue.
In Poor Condition: Remove all previous coatings. Follow directions for bare wood.
Priming bare wood: Apply 1 coat of Perfection Varnish thinned 10-15% with YTA006 International Retarder Thinners #9 or YTA064 International Polyurethane Spraying Thinners #10 to ensure penetration and adhesion.

Method: For best results when applying by roller, smooth off with a pad or brush.
