| Application Method | The varnish can be applied by brushing or spraying. Used as a topcoat for surfaces coated with alkyd composite paint or alkyd enamel. When used with other coats, ensure the appropriate interval time between layers as per technical requirements. Apply a new coat only after the previous layer has dried. The varnish can dry naturally or be cured at a temperature of 65±5°C. If oven drying is used, it should occur within 30 minutes after application to allow the paint film to naturally level, improving its performance. The viscosity can be adjusted with X-6 Alkyd Thinner. The product has an effective storage period of one year. |
