Preparations
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, oil, wax, all loose material and surface contamination. Completely remove existing coatings that are in poor condition. Use recommended Tikkurila products as cleaning agents and suitable Tikkurila or other good quality wood fillers for filling cracks, joints, nail holes, blemishes, etc. Ensure that all glossy and filled surfaces are thoroughly flatted down. Always prime bare exterior wooden surfaces with Valtti Base prior to the application of Unica Super Lacquer.
Application
Methods:brush or spray. For airless spray: use a 0.009" – 0.013" (0.230 – 0.330mm) spray tip, and thin by up to 40% with white spirit. Thinning: by up to 40% with white spirit.
Painting conditions
All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the moisture content of the wood below 20%, the temperature of the air at least +5 deg. C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.
Painting
Stir thoroughly before use. Apply lacquer by brush or spray. On bare wooden surfaces use 2-3 coats of Unica Super Lacquer thinned by 20-40% with White Spirit 1050 as priming lacquer. For exterior situations use Valtti Base priming oil and Unica Super GLOSS Lacquer as priming lacquer. Apply one or two finishing coats of Unica Super Lacquer thinned by 0-20% with White Spirit. On previously lacquered or varnished surfaces apply one or two coats of Unica Super Lacquer unthinned. Sand lightly between coats.
