SURFACE
PREP
New
Wood: Sand smooth using fine sandpaper, vacuum sanding dust.
Wipe using a tack-cloth to remove any remnants of dust prior to application.
Do not use steel wool. If open-grained woods are to be filled, use a
filler that does not contain stearates or waxes such as ZAR Wood Patch
or ZAR Trowelable Wood Patch.
Old Clear Finishes in Good Condition: Remove grease,
dirt, and wax. Sand lightly in the direction of the grain to remove
any gloss. Do not use steel wool. Vacuum all sanding dust. Wipe using
a tack-cloth to remove any remnants of dust prior to application.
If the old finish contains wax or stearates, regardless of condition,
remove completely. Test AQUA ZAR in an inconspicuous area for compatibility.
Old Clear Finishes in Poor Condition, Lacquer or Shellac:
Remove completely. Do not use steel wool. Sand and vacuum all sanding
dust. Wipe using a tack-cloth to remove any remnants of dust prior to
application.
APPLICATION
Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F
and the relative humidity is less than 60%.Stir thoroughly before and
during application. Do not shake! Use a clean synthetic fiber or foam
brush, lamb’s wool applicator or pad. Do not apply with a roller!
To ensure satisfactory results always test AQUA ZAR in an inconspicuous
area before completing entire job. Apply thin coats at a rate of 400-500
sq.ft per gallon in the direction of the grain. Too thick of a coat
may appear milky when dry. Do not over brush or trap air bubbles in
the finish.
FLOOR APPLICATION
Prepare surface as described under “Prepare Wood Surface Before
Finishing”. If floor is to be stained follow manufacturer’s
directions. Areas with poor ventilation such as closed rooms, corners
and hallways may take longer to dry. Apply AQUA ZAR using a brush, synthetic
applicator or pad. A minimum of three coats is required. Allow floors
to dry 24 hours before subjecting to light foot traffic; three to five
days before moderate (normal) traffic or moving furniture.
One week is required before maximum hardness is achieved. Do not cover
floors with rugs before one week has elapsed.
If floor should become marred or scratched, sand lightly using fine
sandpaper, vacuum all sanding dust, wipe with a cloth dampened with
water and apply another coat.
