How to prepare Feast Watson Shellac:
- Make sure your timber is dry and free from any traces of dust, dirt, glue, wax, grease, and oil.
- Before applying, fill any timber defects with a suitable wood putty.
- Note: A blend of several colours may be required to match the timber colouring.
- If the grain is open or very coarse, apply one coat of Feast Watson Sanding Sealer and when thoroughly dry, sand off back to bare timber.
Bare Timber
- Using a medium grit and the fine grit paper, sand new timber.
- Remember to sweep and vacuum any leftover dust.
Previously Coated Timber
- Ensure the old finish is completely removed by first sanding with a coarse paper, or stripping, then sand until you reach new bare timber.
- If the old coating is a varnish, it will only need to be sanded back to a smooth, uniform matt finish.
- Note: Any wax build-up on old French Polished surfaces should be removed prior to sanding, by wiping with a cloth dampened with warm soapy water or pure turpentine.
