| APPLICATION DETAILS | ||
| Application conditions | The surface to be varnished must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5°C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%. Do not apply during strong sunlight or during damp and cold weather. Time the work so that the lacquer film will have enough time to dry before the evening dew. | |
| Preparation | Untreated surfaces:
Remove dirt and dust from untreated surfaces. Wipe hardwood surfaces with White Spirit 1050 before treatment. Always prime bare exterior wooden surfaces with Valtti Base priming oil prior to applying lacquer. Previously treated surfaces: Wash down the surface with Cleaning Agent (Maalipesu) and rinse carefully with water. Remove old/loose lacquer with scraper. Sand the entire surface and remove sanding dust. |
|
| Lacquering | Stir Unica Super well before use. Prime untreated surfaces with Unica Super thinned with 20 % White Spirit 1050. Apply 2-3 thin even layers. For finishing coat thin 0 - 20%, if necessary. Apply 1-2 coats of unthinned Unica Super on previously lacquered surfaces. Sand the surface lightly between coats.
Note! Always prime exterior surfaces with full-gloss Unica Super. |
|
| Cleaning of tools | Clean tools with White Spirit 1050 or with Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner). | |
| Maintenance instructions | Not earlier than 1 month after treatment: Clean the surface with neutral cleaning agent
(pH 6-8) using smooth brush, sponge or cleaning cloth. Clean very dirty surfaces with lightly alkalic cleaning agent (pH 8-10) using e,g, cleaning cloth, mop or sponge. Rinse the surface carefully with water. The surface achieves its final hardness and durability after few weeks (1 month) under normal conditions, therefore the surface should be handled with care during that time. If the surface has to be cleaned soon after treatment, use smooth brush, damp cleaning cloth or mop. |
|
| Maintenance treatment | Observe the condition of the exterior lacquered surface. The surface requires a new coat of Unica Super usually between 2 to 4 years depending on the substrate and the conditions. If the surface was previously treated with Unica Super lacquer, all similar lacquers can be used for maintenance painting. | |
