Preparation
Non-porous surfaces*
Surface must be clean, dry, pre-primed, and in good condition.
Application
Primed wood and non-wood surfaces
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). DO NOT THIN. STIR THOROUGHLY (DO NOT SHAKE) before and during use. Do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours. Avoid applying in direct sunlight. Test ZAR® Platinum PRO Translucent Exterior Urethane Finish on an inconspicuous area to determine final color.
ZAR® Platinum PRO Translucent Exterior Urethane Finish is formulated for one coat application. If a darker color is desired, apply a second coat, making sure to evaluate tests on the substrate to ensure the finish and color development are acceptable.
For best results, we recommend airless spray application using a Graco® Fine Finish Tip .010″-.014″. Pressure should be 2400 PSI achieving 5 – 7 wet-film-thickness (WFT).
On lap siding, start at the top on several boards and apply continuously using an east to west motion across to a break at a door, window, or corner. Be sure to maintain a wet edge. On panels, use a north to south spray motion. After spraying, the coating should be dry brushed or back rolled if necessary, for color uniformity.
The finish is not prone to sag, however, if you should see any evidence of this, immediately feather it out into the surrounding area with a clean, soft paintbrush.
Disposal
Dispose of contaminated absorbent, container and unused contents in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
