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

  4. Apply the required number of coats of SuperClear 9000 to obtain the desired film-build and final look. A minimum of 2 coats applied at 2-4 mils per wet coat is required to obtain a thin film set. There is no limit to the total number of coats of product that can be applied. Allow each coat to dry for a minimum of 45 minutes before recoating. Sanding between each coat is not necessary unless contamination has effected the film formation, or if the last coat has dried for more then 24 hours. Sand with 600-grit sandpaper to remove surface imperfections, runs, sags and contamination. Remove sanding dust as specified and apply final coat as required.
