Surface Preparation
First clean and dry all surfaces to remove oil, grease and other contaminants and remove any loose and flaking old finish. For oily, greasy, waxed or varnished surfaces prepare by scrubbing with a green scourer or 00 steel wool soaked with ESP. Wipe clean after 5-10 minutes then follow the standard application instructions.
Application tools
- Lint-free cloth
- Brush
- Roller
Application
Apply ESP generously with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. If ESP crawls or separates, the surface is not clean. Wipe off ESP and re-clean according to above directions before continuing. Leave to stand for 5 minutes then lightly wipe over the surface in one direction with a clean cloth to remove any excess ESP. Allow to dry for 2 hours. When dry, ESP may be left up to 7 days before applying the finish. If this time has passed, re-apply ESP as directed before painting.
Clean Up
Clean all tools and equipment with soap and water.
Things to Remember
- Shake well before application
- Do not thin
- Ensure the new finish is compatible with the old finish
- Use clean cloths to apply the ESP and change them regularly
- Do not contaminate new clean ESP with old used ESP
- Do not use ESP for dipping
