MIROTONE NC Nitrocellulose furniture lacquer information guide

This application guide will provide information on the application of MIROTHANE NC nitrocellulose single pack furniture lacquer. 

Health and Safety

before applying any of our products please consider your safety and the safety of others. The Paint Factory highly recommends reading the Safety Data Sheet on the product which you can do on the Data Sheets Page. Always ensure you are wearing the right Personal Protective Equipment and consider the health of others and the environment.

Application

Step 1: Surface preparation

​Surface must be free from dust, grease, dirt and all contaminants. MIROSOL 1231 Wax & Grease remover can be used to wash the surface to remove wax and grease. Fill all defects with a water based wood filler (i.e. cracks, holes etc).

Step 2: Sanding for undercoat

​Sand wood with 180-240 grit paper. Sand MDF with 240-320 grit paper. Remove all dust using an air gun and clean lint free cloth.

Step 4: Undercoat application 

Apply one of the following undercoats per the instructions on the relevant data sheet:
 - MIROLAC NC 3125 Universal White Undercoat​

Coatings systems using multiple coats of sealer will increase the risk of the dry film appearing milky (especially when applied over dark stains or wood) and may result in white marking if the film is damaged by sharp objects.

​Step 5: Sanding for topcoat

Allow to dry per the technical data sheet and sand with 280-320 grit paper just prior to top coating. Use 400-500 grit paper where a high gloss finish is being applied. Remove all sanding dust.

Step 6: Apply topcoat​

Apply two coats of one the following topcoat as per the directions on the technical data sheet:
 - MIROLAC NC 3150 pigmented topcoat on as per directions on the technical data sheet.
