Surface Preparation

Wood substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to coating. An appropriate primer is VARISET SELECT Primer or self-seal. When recoating, the previous coat of VARISET SELECT HH White Topcoat or VARISET SELECT Primer must be sanded and the next coat applied within eight hours. VARISET SELECT HH White Topcoat cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.

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.
