Directions for use

Important notes:

For interior use only.

Oil based stains must be completely dry before using a water based top coat. Wait a minimum of 48 hours before applying Flat Out Flat.

Surface preparation:

On raw wood, sand with the grain using #120 and finishing with #220 grit paper. On stained wood, sanding with #320 or finer paper or buffing with a buffing pad is optional. Do not sand through the stain.

Application:

  1. STIR WELL, prior to use.
  2. Using a foam brush or paint pad applicator, apply GF FOF liberally using smooth, even strokes going with the grain. Use enough material to provide a wet film. DO NOT over brush. Apply and move on.
  3. Sand between coats using #320-#400 grit paper or extra fine to super fine sanding pads. Remove dust before recoating.
  4. Three coats is recommended.
