ColorTone Waterbase Brushing Varnish is a special formulation with slower drying time and enhanced flow-out for ready-to-brush application.
Application instructions: Mix well prior to use. Stir gently, do not shake to minimize bubbles.
1. Sand grain-filled wood with a minimum of 320-grit sandpaper. Remove dust with a soft cloth. Do not use wax/oil tack cloths. Wash surface with Naphtha or denatured alcohol to remove any oils.
2. Apply thinned varnish as a sealer. Thin with up to 50% water. Apply 2 to 3 coats of sealer 2 hours apart. Scuff sand first coat with 320-grit paper. Let dry overnight. Scuff sand dried sealer with 320-grit.
3. Apply varnish topcoats at a rate of no more than 3 coats per day, 2-3 hours apart. Coats applied within this time frame require no sanding in between. ColorTone Brushing Varnish is applied with a brush straight from the can. We recommend a polyester bristle brush 1-1/2" to 2" wide (available at local hardware stores).
4. Let dry overnight. Sand with 320-grit, being careful not to sand through especially if there is color under the finish. Apply three more coats as in #3 above.
5. Let dry overnight. Attempt a complete level sanding with 800-grit paper. If this is not possible without sanding through, repeat #3 above. Once a successful level sanding is accomplished, brush on two final coats.
6. The finish will cure best in a warm, dry area. Final chemical cure takes 200 hours.
7. Wet sand cured finish with 800-grit or finer. Buff with coarse buffing compound, then with medium. Use fine buffing compound for the highest gloss (optional).
Notes:
Open-pored woods (mahogany, rosewood, ash and walnut) can be filled with waterbase grain filler on bare wood or after one coat of sealer.
Clean brush immediately after each application. Clean with soap and water.
For transparent colors, add ColorTone Concentrated Liquid Stains to varnish.
For hot/dry conditions, reduce varnish with ColorTone Waterbase Retarder. Add 5-15% retarder as needed to slow drying.
Use in well ventilated areas. Avoid inhaling residue.
Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
