APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air and substrate at least +10OC, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.
Preparation Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, oil, wax, all loose material and surface contamination. Wet new wooden surfaces with clean water so as to expose loose wood fibres, allow to dry and sand down. Completely remove existing coatings that are in poor condition. Use suitable Tikkurila products such as cleaning agents and suitable Tikkurila wood fillers for filling cracks, nail holes, blemishes, etc. Ensure that all glossy and filled surfaces are thoroughly flatted down.
Lacquering Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply two to three coats of Kiva Furniture Lacquer according to the condition of the surface and required depth of colour. Always work in the direction of the grain and avoid overlapping. The final colour will depend upon the timber species i.e. original colour and hardness. The chosen gloss level will normally be achieved after the application of two coats.

A trial painting on a separate piece of wood is recommended to check the right colour when using tinted product. The final colour of the treated surface depends on wood species, the hardness and the original colour of the wood, and the number of coats applied. Thin tinted lacquer for the first treatment with 20-30% water. Usually the desired result will be achieved with two coats. Treat surfaces always without a break and large panel surfaces a few panels at a time to achieve an uniform colour.
Cleaning of tools Clean with water immediately after use. Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner) is recommended to be used for cleaning hardened paint from tools.
Maintenance instructions Do not clean earlier than 1 month after treatment.

Clean the surface with a damp cloth, sponge or soft brush and with neutral (pH 6-8) detergent. The surface must not be left wet after cleaning. Very dirty surfaces can be cleaned with a slightly alkaline (pH 8-10) detergent using e.g. a cloth, mop or sponge. Rinse the surface carefully.
Maintenance treatment Maintain with Kiva Furniture Lacquer or a similar water-borne lacquer.
