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.
