Perma-Chink Clear Shield Acrylic Interior Finish

Perma Chink Preparation Instructions:
• Wood surfaces should be dry and cleaned of all oils, grease, wax, dirt and dust. For best results wipe the entire area to be finished with a clean rag prior to application.
• If an oil-based stain has been applied to the wood, allow it to dry for at least three weeks then wipe it down with a clean cloth before applying PCS Clear Shield.

Recommended Application Equipment:
• Airless sprayer with back-brushing to ensure even coverage.
• Paint Pad
• All by brush
• Stir before and frequently during application.

Perma Chink Application Information:
• Use a paint paddle to gently stir Clear Shield before using.
• Do not shake container or agitate as this creates foam that may result in air bubbles within the finish. Clear Shield is made to be used "as is." Do not dilute with water or any other solvent. Do not tint.
• Stir well before and during use.
• Vigorously brushing Clear shield will also entrap air resulting in a rough surface with lots of visible air bubbles.
• For the best results Clear shield should be applied with a good quality brush or pad using slow strokes.

• If applying to wood walls, cabinets or trim, first apply Lifeline Interior stain or Prelude Clear Wood Primer. Once the stain or primer has dried to the touch, the first coat of Clear Shield can be applied.
• Apply one to multiple coats depending on desired film thickness
• Sand between 1st and 2nd Coat
• Clear Shield should never be applied to green logs or wood with a moisture content in excess of 20%.
• Apply thin coats of Clear Shield using smooth, even strokes in the same direction as the wood grain.
• Do one or two boards at a time ending at wood joints, walls or doorways to prevent lap marks.
• After applying the first coat, allow it to dry to the touch (typically one to two hours) then lightly sand smooth using fine (180 grit or higher) sandpaper or buffing brush. Lightly sanding with sandpaper (180 grit or higher) or a buffing brush will take off all of the small bumps and other imperfections.
• If the film is just the slightest bit soft, sanding will generate little pills of finish and make a mess of the surface.
• Do not allow sanding procedure to build up excessive heat.
• Do not use steel wool!
• Perma Chink does not recommend sanding between subsequent coats. Although a minimum of three coats is recommended for new or worn wood floors, additional coats will add luster and depth to the finish.

Perma Chink PCS Clear Shield Clean Up & Drying Time:
• Wash hands and tools with soap and warm water as soon as possible after use.
• Although Clear Shield dries to the touch in approximately 1 to 2 hours, you should let the surface dry for about 12 hours before allowing light traffic.
• Avoid placing rugs or moving furniture over the finish for approximately one week.
• Clear Shield will reach full cure hardness within one to two weeks.
