Aqua Clear Ultra Finish Top Coat

Aqua Clear Ultra Finish Top Coat from Heirloom Traditions Paint is specifically designed to go over our paints and waxes. 

Aqua Clear is a water-based top coat designed to be used over painted, stained and waxed surfaces that cured and are thoroughly dry (48 to 72 hours).   It will adhere over an oil stain ONLY if the stain is completely dry (minimum 4 days drying).  Our unique formulation available in 3 different finishes – matte, satin, and gloss – is a great choice for protecting all your furniture and accessories projects.

How to Use:  Sand surface with #120 grit sandpaper and finish with #220 grit for optimal results.  Stir (do not shake) Aqua Clear well.  Application is easiest with a foam brush or roller or pad applicator.  The product will have a milky or cloudy appearance but will dry clear.  Using smooth even strokes, apply a liberal, even first coat* and let dry completely (2 to 4 hours depending on humidity and temperature) before adding additional coat(s).  This is very important to obtain a fully cured surface layer.  Do not rush dry times and coating times.  Let dry before using the surface.  Coverage: ±60 to 70 sq.ft. per pint

* Some users apply with a foam brush and then wipe the wet top coat with a lint free cloth in even smooth strokes in one direction only (but don't over do).
