Preparation |
PREVIOUSLY VARNISHED WOOD:
In Good Condition: Clean with Yacht Line Super Cleaner. Sand
smooth with 280-320 grade paper. Remove sanding dust with a dust wipe.
In Poor Condition: Remove all previous coatings.
BARE WOOD: Sand smooth with 80-180 grade paper and then 280 grade
paper. Clean surface by brushing, dusting or wiping. If wiping with
solvent then allow to dry completely before applying first coat of
varnish. |

Method |
Pour the amount you expect to use in a separate container. Avoid using
direct from the can. Strain it through a paint strainer to ensure there
is no contamination. PREVIOUSLY VARNISHED WOOD: Apply 2-4 full coats,
until a satisfactory finish is achieved. Sand between coats using
320-400 grade paper. Remove dust with a dust wipe. BARE WOOD: Apply the
first coat thinned 10% with Thinner No. 333. Apply a further 4-6 full
coats until a satisfactory finish is achieved. Sand between coats using
320-400 grade paper. Remove dust with a dust wipe. Do not apply too
thickly. |

Hints |
Mixing Stir well before use.
Thinner Spray - YTA085 Thinner No. 3. Brush - YTA333 Thinner No.
333.
Ventilation and Humidity Control Apply in dry, well ventilated
conditions. Avoid damp conditions. Cold weather retards the drying and
humidity can spoil the gloss.
Airless Spray Pressure: 170 bar/2500 psi. Tip Size: 0.33-0.41
mm/13-16 thou.
Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65
psi (gun pressure); 8-10 psi (pot pressure). Tip Size: 0.89-1.4 mm/35-50
thou. Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi - gun pressure. Tip
Size: 0.89-1.4 mm/35-50 thou.
Brush Always use a clean brush that is kept specifically for
varnishing. Clean brushes before use.
Roller If rolling, use a thin nap roller and "tip-off" with a
clean natural bristle brush.
Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The
applicator may use any settings which yield the best results for the
individual spraying technique and current weather conditions. To enhance
appearance of the bare wood and fill porous open grain, apply Interstain
according to label directions and allow to dry overnight. To prevent
skinning in the tin add a teaspoonful (5ml) of Thinner No. 333 on the
surface before closing the lid. |

Some Important Points |
Never leave bare wood exposed for long periods of time as it will absorb
moisture. Avoid using Schooner straight from the can as this will cause
it to age prematurely and may introduce contamination to the can.
Failure to follow proper dry times carefully will cause improper drying,
wrinkling and loss of adhesion. Avoid painting in direct sunlight. Use
above the waterline only. Only use recommended thinners. If maximum
overcoating times are exceeded, sand with 280-320 grade paper. Product
temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. Ambient
temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Substrate
temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. |

Compatibility/Substrates |
Prime bare wood using Schooner thinned by 10% with Thinner No. 333. Can
be used direct onto oily woods such as Teak and Iroko when thinned as
for priming. Do not apply two part varnishes over Schooner. |
