Preparation
Stir thoroughly before using, do not shake.
The clear version of Aqua-Guard Plus may also be used as its own sealer.
Application
Apply Aqua-Guard Plus in light, even coats of 3-4 wet mils. Always scuff sand previous coat with 320 grit sandpaper and remove any sanding dust from the surface before applying any additional coats.
Total finishing system, including sealer and topcoats, should not exceed 4 dry mils. Waterborne sealers and finishes are high solids, quick building products. Excessive finish build can lead to a cloudy finish especially in lower sheens, cracking, cold checking and other finish failures.
Aqua-Guard Plus may be tinted with Waterborne Colorants not to exceed 10% addition by volume. To provide even more resistance to abrasion and household chemicals, 5% Procat crosslinker can be added to the mix.
Notes
Protect from freezing. If product has frozen and appears unusable, place product at room temperature (minimum 70 degrees F) for 48 hours then add 1% water by volume to reduce viscosity. Waterborne Pre-Catalyzed Lacquer is manufactured at spray viscosity. Small amounts of clean water may be used if further reduction is necessary. Begin with 1 ounce per gallon and add additional water if necessary. Do not exceed 5%.
Strain product before use for best results.
Always do a sample panel to test results of mixture prior to applying on the actual work.
Remove sanding dust after sanding.
Stainless steel spray equipment is recommended to avoid iron contamination (discoloration).
Flush equipment and fluid lines after use with warm tap water.
Do not use a tack cloth to remove sanding dust. Sanding dust should be removed with a dry cloth or compressed air.
