Materials Required

. Epoxy Isolant Base.

. Parafinated Polyester Topcoat.

. Dry Sanding Aloxite paper 80, 100, 120, 150.

. Dry sanding No-Fill/Babloo paper grit - 220, 320, 400.

. Water Emery - 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000.

. Spray Gun and compressor.
. Rubbing compound.
. Orbital Buffing machine and Wool Pad.
. NC Thinner for cleaning.

Application

. Sand the wood surface using 80-100 grit aloxite dry sanding paper. (For Veneers, use 120-150 grit papers.)

. Stir the two parts of the Epoxy Isolant first in their individual containers and then mix the two together in an empty container. For a clear finish, apply Epoxy Isolant base by wiping with a soft muslin cloth on to the entire wood surface. For opaque finishes, apply Epoxy Isolant base by spray (Nozzle 1.5mm, 28-30 PSI).
. Allow the base to dry. Drying time of about 2-3 hours.
. The top coat is prepared for spray by mixing the polyester base, accelerator and hardner in the ratio of 100:2:2. Add the entire quantity of the cobalt accelerator (blue) to the base in the given ratio. The hardner is added only when the material is about to be sprayed. For proportioning appropriate measurement cups and syringes are recommended. The proportion must be maintained meticulously. Keep the spray nozzle width at about 2.5-3mm at 28-30 PSI.
. Pour the prepared material into the gun cup.
. Spray 8 to 10 coats of the topcoat in wet on wet condition with 5 minute intervals between coats.
. Wash the spray gun thoroughly and immediately after use using an NC thinner.
. Allow the topcoat to cure for 24 to 36 hrs to attain full hardness.
. Sand the paraffin using no-fill paper of grits 220, 320 and 400 to remove the paraffin coat entirely and get an even surface.
. Now wet sand the topcoat progressively with grits 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 wet emery papers to remove all scratches and imperfections.
. The thus prepared surface should now be buffed using a rubbing compound and a wool pad mounted on an orbital buffing machine. The RPM of the orbital buffing machine must be low (below 1000) to get a high gloss.
