Instructions
True one coat application makes this very easy to incorporate into most manufacturing facilities. Increase your product’s value, color and finishing capabilities all with a single application of Nelsonite.
Step by Step Instructions
Step One
Manufacture your product with Nelsonite in mind. Sand, assemble and machine all your parts prior to Nelsonite.
Step Two
We recommend application prior to staining and finishing. Accomplish all glueing operations prior to application.
Step Three
Make sure your product is ready for application, with moisture content between 6-10%. Most domestic wood suppliers provide raw materials that fit into this category.
Step Four
Dip or Spray. Let Nelsonite penetrate and dry 24 hours. This dry time allows solvents to evaporate and resins start to harden. The smell of Nelsonite will dissipate within a week of application.
Step Five
Stain your product with normal application of stain and continue with scheduled applications of top coats and finishes.
