Rustins Plastic Coating & Hardener Gloss

Product Plastic Coating
Type: A two-part cold cure finish, based on Urea Formaldehyde resins, plasticised with alkyd reinforced with melamine. The finish is highly durable, heat resistant, resistant to impact, abrasion and solvents.
Intended Use: For interior use only. Suitable for bare wood, suitably glued veneered wood, hardboard, MDF and unsealed cork.
Special Features: Enhances the colour of the wood. May be burnished to give mirror like finish using Rustins Burnishing Cream. The coating is almost colourless, but some woods may darken slightly.
Preparation: The surface must be clean, smooth, dry and free from wax, dust and contaminants. Nail holes and small cracks may be filled with Rustins Wood filler. Bare wood may be dyed before coating with Rustins Wood Dye. Other brands of dye & stain should be tested for compatibility. Do not use with Knotting or Sanding Sealer.
Application: The mixing ratio is 1 part Hardener to 4 parts Coating by volume. Once mixed, it may be used for up to two days, if covered and kept cool. Use a brush, roller or lambs wool pad and apply evenly and liberally, finishing in the direction of the grain.
Coats: Two coats are usually sufficient on hardwood. Softwoods and cork may require a minimum of 3 coats, depending on the absorbency of wood. Avoid exceeding recommended number of coats.
Drying Time: Generally, touch-dry within 30 minutes–1 hour, depending on the temperature and humidity.
Re-coating Time: May be re-coated after 1 hour.
Application Temp: Ideally 15-25°C. Do not use below 15°C, or in conditions of high humidity.
Coverage: 13-15 sq.m per litre per coat. This can vary depending on the absorbency of the wood. Maintenance The surface may be kept clean by wiping with a mild detergent solution. Worn areas may be re-coated once cleaned and sanded, to provide a key.
Compatibility: Not always compatible with PVA glued veneers, use two pack veneer glues instead. The coating may be used over Rustins Wood Filler, Rustins Wood Dye and wood may be bleached before coating, with Rustins Wood Bleach. Important. If any other products are used, such as timber treatments or other brands of dye & stain, test first for compatibility.
