- Protecto-Woodgard Sealer
- Protecto-Woodgard (either glossy or matt or a mixture of glossy and matt)
Indoor Usage
Surface Preparation:
Sand the wood/veneer surface along the grains using emery paper no. 180 followed by emery paper no. 320. Clean surface by removing dust and grease.
Staining
If the natural look of the wood is to be retained then skip this step. If a stained finish is desired, apply a ready-to-use wood stainer with a brush or muslin cloth. Alternatively, you can prepare and apply your own stainer by mixing pigment powder in Protecto-Woodgard-Sealer and thinning it down with water (1 part Protecto-Woodgard-Sealer is mixed with 3 parts water).
Sealing
If you do not wish to seal the pores in the wood, then skip this step. If the pores in the wood are required to be filled, apply Protecto-Woodgard-Sealer liberally using a brush, spray gun (requires dilution with water) or a muslin cloth. If a muslin cloth is used apply the Protecto-Woodgard-Sealer using a circular motion. Allow it to hard dry for 3-4 hours. Rainy days may require longer time.
Repeat filling operations, if necessary, till all the pores are completely sealed. Smooth the surface using emery paper no. 320.
Note: Sealing of pores is essential if a high gloss, mirror like finish is required.
Topcoat
Use Protecto-Woodgard-Glossy to obtain a high gloss finish and Protecto-Woodgard-Matt for a matt finish. You can mix the Glossy and Matt topcoats in any proportions for different levels of gloss.
Stir well before using Protecto-Woodgard. Thin the material with 10-15 % water. Apply two or three coats of Protecto-Woodgard byspraying (about 1.8 kg/sq. cm pressure) or by brushing with a high quality brush.
Keep a gap of 2-3 hours between coats. Apply evenly in very thin coats to ensure quick drying and a superior finish. Allow the final coat todry thoroughly.
Note: The coating may appear soft if the lower layers have not dried thoroughly before the next coat is applied. In such cases the coatings may take a few days to achieve full scratch hardness.
Outdoor Usage
If the polished wooden surface is to be exposed to outdoor conditions, the staining step mentioned above is not recommended. The rest of the application procedure will remain the same.
