Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup.

Preparation

• Surface must be dry and free of wax, grease, polish, old finishes in poor condition or any foreign matter
• Sand to a smooth, uniform surface. Do not use steel wool. Remove dust with a damp cloth. Let dry completely
• If desired, apply stain such as Minwax water based wood stain or Minwax wood finish stain to bare wood surfaces following label directions. Wait at least 24 hr before applying polycrylic finish over Minwax wood finish stain

Application

• Stir Well Before and regularly during use. do not shake. Finish appears milky in can, but dries crystal clear
• Apply a thin coat of polycrylic finish with a high-quality, synthetic bristle brush. Apply in the direction of the wood grain. Do not overbrush
• Let dry at least 2 hr, then sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats. Do not use steel wool. Remove all dust
• Apply a second coat. For additional coats, repeat step 6 before applying. Three coats are recommended
• After final coat, allow 3 hr before light handling and 24 hr before normal use
• Special Instructions: Polycrylic finish should not be applied over red mahogany stains. Instead, use Minwax fast-drying polyurethane or Minwax water based oil-modified polyurethane over any red mahogany stain
• Special Instructions: Polycrylic Finish is not recommended for use on floors because it would require more frequent recoating in high-traffic areas.
