The surface must be clean, smooth, sound, dry and free from wax, dust and contaminants. May be applied to bare wood, in which case 2 or 3 coats may be necessary to obtain the required film thickness. Existing coatings should be cleaned with Rustins Surface Cleaner, White Spirit, detergent or sugar soap and sanded lightly to provide a key prior to painting.

Stir well before use, using a synthetic fibre brush. Apply liberally and evenly.
