Description
D2 may be used on any kind of woodwork above the waterline. Provides a varnish-like but flexible, gloss finish.
Application: To Wood Already Treated With D1:
Application: To Wood Already Treated With D1:
- Do not thin
- Use a good varnish brush or roller
- D2 should be applied in a minimum of 6 rich coats
- Allow at least 12 hours of good drying between coats, i.e. one coat per day
- The six coats should be applied within one month
- No sanding needed between coats
- If possible, allow to dry for three to four days before using
- When applying D2 the air temperature should not be below 8-10ºC (45-50ºF)>
- Do not apply in wet weather or late in the day when dew or fog may be expected. These conditions may dull a newly set film of D2 or cause it to "blush". (Exposure to sunlight will usually remove this discolouration)>
- Keep finish free of salt by washing down periodically with fresh water
- To renew a high-gloss finish, wet-sand the surface extremely lightly, using grit wet-or-dry paper no: 320, wipe the surface clean with a lint-free cloth dampened (dipped and rung out) with D1
- Next day, apply one coat of D2 and, the following day, the second coat of D2, again without sanding between coats. Allow drying time as above
- On wood thoroughly treated with D1, D2 should give approximately 15 sq/m per litre coverage for each coat
- D2, whilst still wet, is easily removed from adjacent surfaces with white spirit
- It is very difficult to remove after drying, so check during and immediately after application to clean up any drips, splatters or 'runovers'
- Brushes and roller should be cleaned with White Spirit
- D2 may be slippery when wet, so many prefer protecting traffic decks with D1 by itself
- Pour unused material into a smaller container so it is not exposed to air and seal tightly
