Use instructions:
The use of Duratec 823A Polyester Sealer or Duratec 5604-001 Polyurethane Sealer (for oily woods or over an alcohol stain) is recommended.

  • Thoroughly mix the Duratec Clear Polyester Topcoat.
  • Measure out an amount that can be sprayed in 15 minutes, usually about a quart with a HVLP Spray Gun.
  • Assure an appropriate spray gun is available and clean. Dry compressed air is recommended for air-assisted spray guns. 1.4 to 1.8 mm tip is ideal. About 34-40 pounds of break-up air is usually required. Use the lowest pressures possible to minimize orange peel.
  • Catalyze with 2% MEKP Catalyst. About 20 CC/quart is required. Stir thoroughly.
  • Start with a light pass over the wood or MDF. Wait two minutes, then make a build coat of 4-6 mils. Wait two minutes. Continue to make build passes, with two minute waits, until about 20 mils of Duratec is on the surface.
  • Allow to cure at room temperature for at least one hour. At that time, cure can be accelerated by putting the part in a warm room at up to 120° F.
  • Once the surface is fully cured, sand to removed any texture or orange peel. Use as fine a grit of paper as is reasonable. a. It may be necessary to make additional build coats to eliminate all surface profile and grain texture. Allow at least eight hours after sanding before re-coating.
  • Continue sanding with progressively finer grits up to 1000 grit paper. Assure that at least 8 hours passes between the beginning of sanding to the beginning of polishing.
  • Compound and polish to a high gloss. We recommend Aqua Buff 1000-F, followed by Aqua Buff 2000
