Application Conditions |
Temperature should be between 50F. and 85F. during application. Air humidity
below 85%. Avoid varnishing in too much wind or sun. A rapid loss of solvents
will occur under these conditions and will decrease the flowing ability. Add
thinner up to the specified percentage to compensate for the faster release
of solvents. Epifanes Clear Gloss Varnish is compatible with most other types
of one-component alkyd or urethane based varnishes and over two-component varnishes.
Any existing finish must be intact, degreased and sanded prior to recoating. |
