Application/Purpose

Typical uses:
• Cork
• Desks
• Doors
• Fibre and particleboard
• Furniture
• Panelling
• Parquet
• Skirtings
• Solid timber
• Veneers

Application:
Application by speed brush is recommended. May also be applied by bristle brush and spray. Roller application is not recommended because of the likelihood of excessive foam formation. Apply Resene Aquaclear evenly, avoiding working back over areas that have begun to set as this will lead to a patchy finish. See Resene Data Sheet D59 and product label for full details.

Limitations:
1. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or when it is liable to drop below 10°C during the drying period.
2. Dries very quickly at high temperatures and low humidity. Maintain a wet edge.
3. Not recommended for high abrasion areas.
4. Allow 72 hours for coating to reach full cure.

Benefits/Advantages

• Low odour application and drying.
• Water wash up.
• Easy recoating.
• An Environmental Choice approved product.

Unwanted paint and paint containers can be returned to the Resene PaintWise paint and paint packaging recovery programme. Returns are donated to community groups, sent to solvent recovery, packaging is recycled and other paint goes into covering graffiti and research on alternative uses. See link to Resene PaintWise.
