Disclaimer: CUTEK Interior is not recommended for flooring or food preparation services Step 1 �� Prepare It is important that CUTEK® Interior be applied to a clean, dry and smoothly sanded wood surface. You must appropriately prepare your timber BEFORE applying CUTEK® Interior. If you have… BARE TIMBER Lightly sand your surface smooth using 180 grit sandpaper. Be careful to only sand in the direction of the grain and ensure you remove all traces of sanding dust after sanding. Clean the surface with mineral turpentine to remove stains, dirt, wax, grease and oil from the substrate. Determine suitability of purpose by testing CUTEK® Interior in an inconspicuous area to check for extractive staining and acceptable gloss level prior to coating the entire surface. If you have… PREVIOUSLY COATED TIMBER CUTEK® Interior MAY be applied on top of some previous coatings by using the following instructions. Lightly sand the surface using 180 grit sandpaper. Ensure that you remove all traces of sanding and coating residue after sanding. Test adhesion to the previous coating, by applying one coat of CUTEK® Interior to a small area and allow to dry for 4 hours. Press sticky tape firmly to the dried surface and pull off quickly. If any of the CUTEK® Interior coating comes off, sand back further until CUTEK® Interior adheres to the previous coated surface without coming off. NOTE: CUTEK® Interior is a clear matt finish and any stains, visible scratches, imperfections, severe wear or surface contaminants left by previous coatings will be visible if not removed prior to application. Polish and/or wax finishes must be completely removed with a suitable polish remover as sanding will not provide appropriate adhesion for CUTEK® Interior. Important information before proceeding CUTEK® Interior may react with soluble extractives from high extractive timbers (such as Vitex) that can present as a discolouration in the dried coating. It is vital that the end user determine the suitability of CUTEK® Interior for their own purpose by testing a sample area first. CUTEK® Interior is not compatible and should not be used in conjunction with CUTEK® Extreme CD50 and CUTEK® Wood Preservative. CUTEK® Interior is not recommended for use on timber flooring or food preparation surfaces.
