Surface Preparation

Wood substrate should be sanded with 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to sanding or coating. Primers should be sanded with 280/320 grit stearated paper prior to topcoating. An appropriate primer is E.S. Primer White II 545-5117, Versaprime® 545-5119, Variset® Primer 545-8023 or Aquaprime® 550-1600 or self-seal. When recoating, the previous coat of E. S. Lacquer White II or primer must be sanded and the next coat applied within eight hours. E. S. Lacquer White II cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.

General Information

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

Apply at 3 – 5 mils wet on sanded or primed 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.

Maximum film build of E. S. Lacquer White II should not exceed 4 mils dry.  Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry. 

Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided.

E. S. Lacquer White II must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between the coats.  131-11XX 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.

THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURES. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS GIVEN IN THIS DATA SHEET WILL LIKELY RESULT IN UNSATISFACTORY FILM APPEARANCE OR FILM FAILURE. THE COMPLETE COATING SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR REQUIRED PROPERTIES PRIOR TO THE START-UP OF PRODUCTION.

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.
