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. When recoating, the previous coat of Varicure Select must be sanded and the next coat applied within eight hours. VARICURE SELECT Clear Topcoat cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers. Stain systems used under acid catalyzed systems should be acid stable. AkzoNobel recommends using 825-90XX or 825-91XX Promatch® C-Mix Stains.

General Information:

Agitate material before use. Always mix VARICURE SELECT Clear Topcoat while adding reducers in the recommended mixing ratios. VARICURE SELECT Clear Topcoat 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 SELECT Clear Topcoat should not exceed 4 mils dry. This product is intended as a selfseal product; however, if a sealer is desired VARICURE SELECT Sealer 431-5201.

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

VARICURE SELECT Clear Topcoat must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats. VARICURE SELECT Clear Topcoat must not be used and dried at temperatures below 18°C or relative humidity above 65%. During hardening the VARICURE SELECT Clear Topcoat must not be exposed to ammonia vapors. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finished surface. This may accelerate discoloration.

Natural ambering or discoloring in the can may occur over time. Although there may be changes of color in the can as the product ages, this will have little to no effect on the product during application. Storing in locations above recommended room temperatures could accelerate ambering.

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.
