How-To Application Steps:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt. For new exterior wood, prime with a suitable priming oil. For previously lacquered surfaces, wash, sand thoroughly, and remove all dust.
2. Stir and Prime: Stir the lacquer well before and during use. For new surfaces, prime with Unica Super 90 (full-gloss) thinned 20% with white spirit. For a coloured finish, tint the priming lacquer to the same shade.
3. Application: Apply 1-2 thin, even coats of unthinned Unica Super 20. On previously finished surfaces, apply directly. Lightly sand the surface between coats for the smoothest result.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean tools with White Spirit. The lacquered surface can be cleaned with a neutral cleaning agent approximately one month after application, once final hardness is achieved.
