Preparation:

• Fine sand surface to be finished with the appropriate grade sandpaper based on the type of final finish required.

• For application to ferrous metals it is necessary to apply an anti-rust primer such as
  Tremclad Water Based Rust Primer prior to application of EM6000.

• If the surface to be finished has a grain-filling type glaze, sealer or paste; ensure that the systems are compatible with one another by preparing a test panel before proceeding.

• Certain solvent-based fillers and glazes may prevent proper adhesion of the topcoat if not thoroughly cured. Ensure that grain fillers have been sanded with a minimum of 400-grit sandpaper and all contamination is removed. Oil-Based glazes should be air-dried and tested to ensure proper early adhesion of the water-based topcoat.

• All surfaces to be finished must be clean and free of oil, dust and contamination that may cause fisheyes or poor adhesion. Clean surface with denatured alcohol or fresh water. Allow surface to thoroughly dry before proceeding.

• Mix the product thoroughly.

• Can be fortified with 2 to 5% of CL100 Cross-Linker

Application:

• Apply the lacquer using an HVLP spray gun. The product can be used without being diluted with water or with the SA5 Retarder. However, the use of SA5 can be useful to slow down the drying time of the lacquer when applying in warm temperature.

• Apply a first coat and let dry 20 minutes. Apply a second coat and let dry for 20 minutes. Repeat the operation until you obtain the desired finish.

• If more than 24 hours have passed between two applications, lightly sand the surface using a fine sanding paper.
