Product Data Sheet Awlwood Clear Gloss J3890 Specification Data Packaging: Product Code: Cleaning: Volume Solids: Specific Gravity: Available in 1 gallon and 1 quart packs J3890 OT0200 Awlwood Brush Cleaner Theoretical Coverage: D Surface Preparation The surface preparation advice provided, and equipment suggestions, can be used as a guide. Preparation techniques and results will vary according to individual conditions, equipment age and other factors. Testing on a non-critical area should be carried out prior to full-scale preparation. Applying over Awlwood Red or Yellow Primer The primer should be sufficiently cured that it sands easily. Hand sand lightly with the timber grain using P400 grit paper or ScotchPad#7447 taking care to avoid sanding through the primer - this will cause uneven colouration. If a greasy timber has been primed or a contaminated substrate is suspected, solvent wipe with Acetone on a rag (wiping off with clean rags) before applying the topcoat. Contaminants from the substrate that float to the surface of the primer can compromise intercoat adhesion.

Product Data Sheet Awlwood Clear Gloss J3890 If multicoating, lightly scuffing between coats with ScotchPad#7447 will dull the surface making it easier for the applicator to avoid misses. Good practice is to gently sand/scuff the surface at the start of each day to remove any texture, especially on vertical surfaces, and then multi-coat as above. Final Coat Application The final coat should be applied in a single application after fine sanding: any remaining texture will be visible in the finish coat. If brushing or rolling, better flow levelling will be attained on a well cured substrate....
