Beger WoodStain Supreme Clear Coat

Step 1 Surface preparation: - If the wood has been painted before and the film is peeling, or it is old wood that has never been painted, sand it back to the bare wood. For new wood, sand off excess wood fibers. Then clean the surface so it is free of grease, dust, oil and foreign matter. - If the wood stain film is in good condition, scuff the film with No. 320 sandpaper and then clean the surface so it is free of grease, dust, oil and foreign matter. - If the wood has resin, wipe off the resin with Thinner M-77. - Fill holes or nail heads with Beger Wood Filler, leave for 30 minutes, then sand and clean

Step 2 Primer: for maximum protection of the wood from mould, termites, wood borers and wood-boring insects, we recommend priming with 1 coat of clear BegerDrite (water-based or oil-based) brush-on. *Apply to all 6 sides

Step 3 Topcoat: - Stir the paint thoroughly until uniform before use, and stir regularly during application, from the bottom of the container upward. - It can be applied without thinner, except when applying outdoors, in very hot conditions or on low-absorbency hardwood: for the first coat, thin with 15-20% Thinner M-1199 to help Beger Supreme wood stain penetrate and bond with the wood. Subsequent coats can be applied without thinner. - After dipping, wipe off excess paint before applying; do not apply with an overloaded brush. - Apply along the wood grain, brushing back and forth so the stain penetrates the wood better. - For exterior vertical woodwork, apply 3 coats; for interior work, usually only 2 coats are needed. Let each coat dry for 6-8 hours, and coat all sides of the wood for the best protection. - If finishing with a clear coat, wait about 6-8 hours for the previous coat to dry; this keeps the wood beautiful for up to 5 years
