SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface must be clean, dry and free of dirt, oil, wax and grease. Remove any loose, flaking or chalking paint from the surface. Do not apply to slick or glossy surfaces.

NOTE: Glass Bead Gel XL dries slowly and will pull tannins and other migrating materials from the substrate into the clear causing yellowing. This is especially important over luan, hardboard, cedar, redwood, etc. We recommend priming the substrate with a high-quality, Stain-Blocking Primer (Zinsser Cover-Stain) and
allow to fully dry. Apply an even coat of Glass Bead Undercoat over the entire primed surface with a roller or trowel (see Glass Bead Undercoat TDS). Allow Undercoat to dry. Paint surface with any paint color or Metallic Paint color and allow to fully dry.
