| Preparation |
BARE
WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Wipe with Brushing Liquid
333. Apply sealer coat of varnish reduced 10% with Brushing Liquid 333.
PLYWOOD: Apply Inter-Prime Wood Sealer Clear 1026.
PREVIOUSLY VARNISHED WOOD: In Good Condition Sand surface with
120-150 grade (grit) paper and remove all dust. In Poor Condition If
varnish is badly checked or peeling, remove finish to bare wood with
Interstrip Semi-Paste 299E. Follow directions for varnishing bare wood. |

| Method |
Pour
the amount you expect to use in a separate container. Strain it through
a paint strainer to ensure there is no contamination. Apply at least 5-6
coats on bare wood and a minimum of 3 coats on previously varnished
surfaces until a satisfactory finish is obtained. Sand between coats
using 220-320 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue with a rag
dampened with Brushing Liquid 333. |

| Hints |
Mixing Do
not shake. Stir gently.
Thinner Brush - Brushing Liquid 333. Spray - Special Thinner
216.
Cleaner Bare Wood - Brushing Liquid 333.
Ventilation and Humidity Control It is best to paint on
warm, dry mornings. Cold weather retards the drying and humidity can
spoil the gloss. Calm, cool, low humidity days are ideal.
Airless Spray Pressure: 170 bar/2500 psi. Tip Size:
0.33-0.41 mm/13-16 thou.
Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.47
bar/50-65 psi (gun pressure); 8-10 psi (pot pressure). Tip Size:
0.89-1.4 mm/35-50 thou. Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi -
gun pressure. Tip Size: 1.5-1.8 mm/60-70 thou.
Brush Always use a clean brush that is kept specifically for
varnishing. Clean brushes before use.
Roller If rolling, use a thin nap roller and
"tip-off" with a clean natural bristle brush.
Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The
applicator may use any settings which yield the best results for the
individual spraying technique and current weather conditions. To enhance
appearance of the bare wood and fill porous open grain, apply Interstain
according to label directions and allow to dry overnight. |

| Some
Important Points |
Never
leave bare wood exposed for long periods of time as it will absorb
moisture. Avoid using Schooner straight from the can as this will cause
it to age prematurely and may introduce contamination to the can.
Failure to follow proper dry times carefully will cause improper drying,
wrinkling and loss of adhesion. Avoid painting in direct sunlight.
Product temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F.
Ambient temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 35°C/95°F.
Substrate temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. |
|
|
| Compatibility/Substrates |
Apply
to clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces only. Schooner can be applied
over any varnish as long as it is adhered well and has been cleaned and
sanded. Do not apply two part varnishes over Schooner. |
