If the surface is already coated, sand it lightly with sandpaper before painting. Stir the paint thoroughly and apply one coat to the wooden surface. Allow to dry for at least 4 hours. If desired, apply a second coat for a smoother finish and added durability.

For the best results, we recommend using brushes and rollers designed for wood. These are available on our website.
