► Application:

1    Sand the surface along the grains with emery paper no. 180 followed by no. 320. Clean surface by removing dust and grease. If pores in the wood are required to be filled, use a wood sealer or make a filler putty from whiting powder (talc powder) and a 20% solution of Protecto-Chamak and water. Apply the Sealer / putty in a circular motion using muslin cloth. Remove excess material along the grains.

2     Sand the filled surface using emery paper no. 180 followed by no. 320. Repeat filling operations, if necessary.

3     For a stained finish use a suitable wood stainer. Mix the stainer in the Sealer / putty described in point no.1 to fill and stain in one operation.

4     Use Protecto-Chamak to obtain a high gloss finish

5     Mix thoroughly the two components, A and B, in 1:4 ratio by volume. Thin the material with 20-25 % water. Apply two or three coats of Protecto-Chamak by spraying (at 1.8 kg/sq. cm pressure) or by brushing, keeping a gap of 2-3 hours between coats. Use the entire mixed material within 3 hours.

       Do not use the mixture after 3 hours even though it appears to be thin and useable. Apply evenly in very thin coats to ensure quick drying and a superior finish.

       Allow the final coat to dry thoroughly. Full scratch hardness is achieved after 3-4 days.
