HOW-TO

Detailed “How-To” Instructions found HERE.

 

PREPARATION: Wash your surface thoroughly.  Ensure the surface is free of any grease, grime or dirt and completely dry.  Stir thoroughly from the bottom before and during application. Use fine-grit sandpaper to lightly scuff any high gloss surfaces.

 

APPLICATION: Apply an even amount using a quality paint brush, roller or sprayer.  Apply in smooth, even strokes in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid heavy pressure and back-brushing.  Allow 1-2* hours before recoating.  Between each coat, use a fine-grit sandpaper (220) to remove any brush strokes, drip marks or build-up.  Remove all dust before recoating.  Wait 24* hours before applying a topcoat.

*Dry time is calculated based on typical environmental conditions. Extreme temperatures or humidity may affect dry time.

 

TOPCOAT: Add long-lasting protection and durability with a House&Canvas topcoat.

CLEANUP: Wash brushes and equipment with warm soapy water immediately after use.

 

STORAGE: Wipe away any excess paint from the lip of the can to prevent rusting.  Ensure the lid is fully sealed when not in use.  Store indoors at room temperature. Avoid extreme heat and freezing
