Acrylic Sanding Sealer.

Typical uses:
To seal open pores of timber prior to application of lacquers, waxes or polishes. Once dry lightly sand for a smooth surface.
Method of application
​Foam Brush, Brush, cloth or spray.
Drying time
Within twenty minutes under normal conditions.
Coverage
approx. 8-10 m² per litre.
Compatibility
Can be used as a basecoat for Acrylic Gloss Lacquer, Acrylic Lacquer, Ebonising Lacquer, Acrylic Satin Lacquer, WoodWax 22, Woodturner’s Stick Wax, Friction Polish.
Tips
One coat should be sufficient to seal the piece you are working on. It is not advisable to apply more than one coat, especially when using a ‘hard’ topcoat (i.e. lacquers). Thinning may be required when applying over a large area.
Acrylic Lacquer.

Typical uses:

A gloss finish, water-based lacquer which gives a very hard-wearing finish.
Method of application
Foam Brush, Brush, cloth or spray.
Drying time
Within twenty minutes under normal conditions.
Coverage
approx. 8-10 m² per litre.
Compatibility
Can be used over Acrylic Sanding Sealer and Cellulose Sanding Sealer. Once dried, Burnishing Cream or WoodWax 22 may be used on top of this product.
Tips
Thinning may be required when applying over a large area. Acrylic finishes have a tendency to ‘froth-up’ when applied; to reduce this we recommend the use of our Foam Brushes. Not suitable for exterior use. Conforms to EN71 for use on toys
Thinners
Water.
Friction Polish.

Typical uses:

High gloss finish usually used on the lathe although it can be applied off the lathe
Method of application
Either by holding a moistened pad against work revolving on the lathe or continued rubbing off the lathe
Drying time
The friction caused by application means that the polish dries immediately
Coverage
Virtually impossible to calculate due to the nature of application
Compatibility
Can be used on bare wood or over any of the Chestnut Products’ Sanding Sealers. The final finish can be treated with Burnishing Cream for an even higher gloss. Waxes can also be applied over Friction Polish.
Tips
Apply a thin coat and keep the cloth moving. For an incredible finish try applying Friction Polish over a burnished coat of Melamine Lacquer then use Burnishing Cream on top.
Thinners
Methylated Spirits (Should not be needed)
