Hints

Thinner Brush - Brushing Liquid 333. Spray - Special Thinner 216. Thinning Thin if necessary with Brushing Liquid 333 to improve brushing characteristics.

Airless Spray Pressure: 170 bar/2500 psi. Tip Size: 0.33-0.41 mm/13-16 thou.

Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi (gun pressure); 8-10 psi (pot pressure). Tip Size: 0.89-1.4 mm/35-50 thou.

Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi - gun pressure. Tip Size: 1.5-1.8 mm/60-70 thou.

Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The applicator may use any settings which yield the best results for the individual spraying technique and current weather conditions. Premium Yacht Enamel is best applied in thin coats.

Some Important Points Do not apply heavy coats as this will affect dry through. Failure to follow proper dry times carefully will cause improper drying, wrinkling and loss of adhesion. Avoid painting in direct sunlight. Product temperature should be minimum 10 C/50 F and maximum 29 C/85 F. Ambient temperature should be minimum 10 C/50 F and maximum 35 C/95 F. Substrate temperature should be minimum 10 C/50 F and maximum 29 C/85 F.

I ordered more for an extended project
By Tim from North Tustin, Ca

I used this satin paint to refinish my fire place mantel and double front doors in my home. They were varnished oak. Using 3 coats of primer to fill the oak grain and 2 coats of interlux , the final finish is perfect.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
