Substrate must be sanded using 120 or 150 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. Sealers, if used, should be sanded with 240, 280 and 320 grit stearated paper prior to being coated. The substrate as well as the sealers should be topcoated within eight hours of being sanded. Chemlife 24 cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers. Stain system used under acid catalyzed systems should be acid stable.

Catalyze and reduce the material as recommended. Chemlife 24 is applied in one to three coats on all kinds of wood meant for indoor use. Thorough sanding between the coats is a must for good adhesion. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided once the Chemlife 24 has been catalyzed. To ensure proper sheen, the catalyzed material should be agitated at all times. Total recommended film thickness must not exceed 4 mils dry.
