Surface Preparation:

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. Sealers, if used, should be sanded with 280/320 grit stearated paper prior to being coated.  The sealer should be topcoated within eight hours of being sanded. Appropriate sealers are Chemcraft pre-catalyzed sealers, or self-seal. When recoating, the previous coat of Varicure 275 must be sanded and the next coat applied within eight hours. Varicure cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.  

General Information:

Agitate material before use. Always mix Varicure 275 while adding hardener and reducers in the recommended mixing ratios. Varicure 275 must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency and consistent gloss.

Apply at 3 – 5 mill wet on sanded substrate. Further coats may be applied after complete drying followed by sanding with 280/320 grit stearated paper. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded. The maximum film build of Varicure 275 should not exceed 4 mils dry.

Varicure 275 may be catalyzed to further enhance its durability. Contact your coating supplier for a recommendation.

This product is intended as a self-seal product; however, if a sealer is desired Variseal 275 (431-1701) is recommended.

Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided.

Varicure 275 must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats. Varicure 275 must not be used and dried at temperatures below 64°F or relative humidity above 65%. During hardening the enamel must not be exposed to ammonia vapors. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finished surface. This may accelerate discoloration.

This product does contain formaldehyde, but the quantity is below the reportable amount according to OSHA regulation 1910.1048.

Dry times are greatly affected by film build, porosity of substrate, air movement as well as heat and humidity. Temperatures are based on actual board temperature. This may vary depending on length of time for boards to reach these temperatures. Minimum curing temperatures of 64°F/18°C must be maintained throughout the curing cycle to achieve the film integrity as stated in product features.
