Recol® Varnish can be applied on any porous surface, whenever this surface is clean, dry, free of dust, dirt, grease, oxide, loose particles, contaminant agents and paint in bad condition.

Stir well Recol® Varnish with aid of spatula, until achieving total homogeneity of the product.
General tools used in the application: brush, roller, conventional air sprayer.
Provide adequate ventilation during the installation.
Surfaces that have been already painted and are in good condition must be sanded lightly in order to confer them a matt finish, ensuring the adherence to such surfaces.
For application on ferrous metal, lock out the oxide; clean and dry very well the surface and then apply Recol® Varnish.
In surfaces such as galvanized, aluminum, tin or other not ferrous metals, it is necessary to apply previously a primer like Wash Primer.
For application on other varnish, just sand.
 
For application on wood, there are two methods of application:
 
a) when the goal is to change the color of the wood, tint Recol® Varnish with small quantities of Recol® Enamel o Recol®Tint Universal and then dilute this mixture with ¼ part of mineral spirit to enhance the penetration of Recol® Varnish in the wood.
b) when the goal is to obtain a transparent coat, just dilute in proportion of 1/8 of mineral spirit per gallon of Recol® Varnish or similar proportion.
For application of Recol® Varnish on asbestos-cement, concrete o cement, wash previously these surfaces with a 10% muriatic acid solution in water; rinse, allow the surface dry and then apply Recol® Varnish.
For application with brush or roller the dilution is not recommended.
Use natural bristles brushes for the application.
For application with conventional air sprayer: dilute Recol® Varnish with 10% of mineral spirit; adjust the pressure of the equipment and apply uniformly on the object to paint.
The solvent for dilution is mineral spirit.
In some cases, the dilution with thinner can produce problems such as loss of shine, whitening of the film or flocculation.
The advantages to use mineral spirit are: better shine and smoothness of the film.

Allow a time to touch between 1 to 2 hours and a retouch time between 8 to 10 hours.

The time of dying depends on the weather conditions of humidity and temperature.

Recommendations:

Once you have finished the application of Recol® Varnish and/or its mixtures, clean the tools used with mineral spirit or thinner.

Cover up hermetically the recipients, avoiding contaminations that can produce eventual deterioration of the product in storage.

When you use solvents of acids, make sure you use the appropriate personal protection equipment.
