Surface
Preparation is as for the Finish. |

|
| Method |
WOOD
filled with Interstain: Apply 1-2 coats. This will seal the wood and
filler and then the paint or varnish of choice can be applied as
directed. PLYWOOD: It is important to saturate the porous white summer
grain of the wood until it takes on a glossy appearance. At least 2
coats will be required to reach this condition. Once gloss is obtained,
the wood should be sanded with 120 grade (grit) paper before applying
finish coats of paint or varnish. |

| Hints |
Thinner Brush
- Brushing Liquid 333. Spray - Special Thinner 216.
Ventilation and Humidity Control It is best to paint on
warm, dry mornings. Cold weather retards the drying and humidity can
spoil the gloss.
Airless Spray Pressure: 170-204 bar/2500-3000 psi. Tip Size:
0.33-0.41 mm/13-16 thou.
Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.47
bar/50-65 psi (gun pressure); 8-10 psi (pot pressure). Tip Size:
0.89-1.4 mm/35-50 thou. Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi -
gun pressure. Tip Size: 1.5-1.8 mm/60-70 thou.
Roller If rolling, use a thin nap roller and
"tip-off" with a clean natural bristle brush.
Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The
applicator may use any settings which yield the best results for the
individual spraying technique and current weather conditions. |

| Some
Important Points |
Never
leave bare wood exposed for long periods of time as it will absorb
moisture. Avoid painting in direct sunlight. Product temperature should
be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. Ambient temperature
should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Substrate
temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. |

|
| Compatibility/Substrates |
Apply
to clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces only. Inter-Prime Wood Sealer
Clear is not a finish paint and must be overcoated with varnish or
paint. Do not apply two part varnishes over Inter-Prime Wood Sealer
Clear. Do not use with two part epoxies. Plywood must be sealed prior to
painting. Failure to stabilize the white summer grain by saturating with
the sealer will cause premature paint failure. If the soft, porous,
white grain is not sealed, subsequent coats of paint will crack and
check causing paint delamination. |
