INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - APPLICATION:
Apply even coats with the grain of wood by spraying or brushing. Recoat every hour at 72°F or when coating is tack free. Temperatures will affect dry time and recoat time. America’s Best Varnish will need to be sanded if allowed to dry more than 8 hours at 72°F. Higher temperatures will reduce recoat window. Sand with 320 grit between coats as desired. Wipe clean with a lint free rag and denatured alcohol. Allow to dry before next coats are applied. Sand with 320 grit and clean with water before applying final coat.
