paints may be incompatible. Do not apply Knotting or Sanding Sealer.

Using a synthetic brush or varnish roller, apply evenly and liberally, finishing in the direction
of the grain. When applying to power floated concrete or dense surfaces such as stone,
dilute the first coat 1:1 with water.
Coats:
Apply 3 liberal coats according to the coverage rate. More absorbent surfaces or
commercial premises may require 4 coats. Important: If there is any grain raising after the
1st coat has dried, lightly sand the surface smooth before applying the next coat.
