FINISH APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Wiped Stains
1. Apply wipe stain with spray gun set at 40- 60 PSI to wet out the entire part.
2. Wipe in circular motion to work stain into pores of wood with an absorbent cloth. Continue
to wipe clean following direction of grain.
3. Shade with same wipe stain as needed to achieve desired look to match color panel. Shading
will vary from part to part
4. Dry for 3 hours or longer at ambient air temperature of 70 degrees.
5. Apply clear coat process
Notes:
*Wipe stains may be reduced with Mineral Spirits or Lacquer Solvents to reduce strength if
needed.
*When using wipe stains, slow agitation of materials is needed. Do not whip
Spray Stains (Not Wiped)
1. Apply stain with spray gun set at 40 PSI. Spray even pattern with slight overlap to achieve
desired tone.
2. Dry for 3 hours or longer at ambient air temperature of 70 degrees.
3. Apply clear coat process

Paint
Apply 3 – 4 wet mils of post catalyzed primer using spray gun with 40 PSI
Dry for 1 hour or longer at ambient air temperature of 70 degrees.
Sand first prime coat with 220 or 320 grit paper.
Remove sanding dust and apply 3 – 4 wet mils of primer for 2nd coat.
Dry for 1 hour or longer at ambient air temperature of 70 degrees.
Light sand with 320 grit paper.
Remove sanding dust and apply post catalyzed enamel top coat at 3 mils with spray gun using
40 PSI.
Dry for 12 hours or longer at ambient air temperature of 70 degrees before packaging.
Notes: *Agitate all materials at all times under slow agitation
*Primer catalyst ratio = 9oz catalyst – 1 gallon Primer
*Enamel catalyst ratio = 14oz catalyst – 1 gallon enamel (3.5 oz. per quart)
*Pot life of primer and enamel top coat = 4 hours
