Especificación del producto

Quick Dry is ideal for small projects or when time is limited. If more tack time is required, Quick Dry may be mixed with our Slow Set Size to achieve a wide variety of tack times. As an example: a 1:1 mixture will reach tack in about 3 hours and remain tacky for about the same time.

  • Coverage 200-250 square feet per gallon
  • Clean up wet size with mineral spirits. Use lacquer thinner on dried material.
  • Size can be used as a sealer and for top coating. This product has the characteristic of yellowing upon aging, giving your project an “antique” look.
  • Size may be tinted with small amounts of oil based colors or universal colorants.
    If size has lost it tack, it may be re-coated after it fully dries.
  • Top-coating should be done after size is fully dry (after 24 hours).
  • Ideal application conditions are 65-75° Fahrenheit and 40 to 60 percent relative humidity

Directions for Use

Surface preparation is the key to obtaining a good-looking and long-lasting leafing project. Surfaces must be smooth and free of any dust, oils, wax and fingerprints. If applying size over a previously finished object, the surfaces must be cleaned and lightly sanded, and a small area should be tested to ensure compatibility. Porous surfaces should be filled with a sealer/primer that is compatible with the substrate. Dux primers are ideal for most projects. Please contact our technical department for recommendations.

Application of Size

The size has been formulated to be used at the consistency provided by the manufacturer. If the user feels that thinning is necessary, mineral spirits may be added in small quantities. Size may be applied by brush, roller or spray. Best results are obtained with a thin even film of around 2 mils of coating thickness. As with any paint or coating, the size should be mixed prior to use. If brushing, any good quality natural bristle brush should be used, the self-leveling properties of the size eliminate the need to over brush the coating. If rolling, use a high quality short nap roller cover. When spraying, follow the equipment manufacturer recommendations.
