How to Apply Watco Wipe-On Poly

Surface Preparation

All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of wax, grease, oil, shellac, lacquer, mildew and polishes. Remove wax with a wax stripper, shellac with a paint stripper, and mildew with a solution of 10% household bleach and water. If sanding of the wood surface is required, prepare by sanding in the direction of the grain. Begin with #120 grit sandpaper and progress though #150, #180 and #220 grits. Remove all sanding dust and dirt with a vacuum, tack cloth, or rag dampened with mineral spirits.

Application

Use only when air (ambient) temperature is between 60-90°F (16-32°C) and relative humidity is below 85%. Allow for longer dry times during damp and humid conditions. Stir the contents of the container thoroughly. DO NOT SHAKE. Apply a coat of Wipe-On Poly using a good quality lint free rag or cloth. Allow to dry for 4 hours. Apply a second coat. Wait 4 hours and repeat the process. Three coats are recommended for the best protection. Before applying the final coat, lightly sand the surface in the direction of the grain using #220 grit sandpaper. Remove all sanding dust with a rag dampened with mineral spirits, tack cloth or a vacuum.
