Surface Preparation
All CraftNique products other than Color Boutique Concentrates, will adhere extremely well to most surfaces but we highly suggest cleaning each surface (except for bare wood) with a good degreaser or denatured alcohol and then wipe clean with a damp rag. It is not necessary to strip old finishes off, but we do recommend lightly scuff sanding with 240 to 400 grit sandpaper to help smooth out any imperfections and provide some tooth for the finish to adhere to. CraftNique products are water-based so it is very important to make sure there are no waxes or silicones present when finishing. Do not use tack cloths or stearated sandpapers as they contain waxes to help remove sanding dust and may result in adhesion problems.
Application-
Apply CraftNique at room temperature best between 65 to 75 degrees.
For Brushing - Apply long, even strokes using light pressure. Do Not over work or push foam into applicator or brush. Allow any bubbles to pop on their own. CraftNique will self level as it dries.
For Spraying - CraftNique works with most spray equipment. We suggest spraying on a test piece first to find a good setting. Usually anywhere from 40 to 60 psi with a needle tip of 1 to 2 will work well. Use thin, even coats. If necessary, CraftNique can be thinned using CrystaLac Viscosity Reducer.
Coverage - CraftNique covers approximately 125 sq ft per Quart. Most surfaces will need anywhere from 2 to 5 coats.
Dry Time - Allow 2 to 4 hours drying time in between coats. If using an oil based stain, make sure it is completely dry and gassed off before applying CraftNique. Oils can take anywhere from 72 hrs to several weeks to completely dry.
Cure Time - CraftNique will be ready for light use within 24 hours. It will completely cure and continue to harden over a period of 30 days.
