PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Use only when air (ambient) temperature is between 65-90°F
(18-32°C). Shake container before using and open carefully to
relieve pressure. Pour Furniture Refinisher into a glass or metal
container. Use steel wool to apply. Saturate the steel wool with
refinisher and squeeze out the excess. Rub the wet steel wool in
a circular motion, working an area approximately 1 foot in
diameter. Rinse and squeeze the steel wool often while
continuing to work until the old finish is dissolved. Move to an
adjacent area of equal size and repeat the process overlapping
each area until the piece is clean. Use a clean piece of steel wool
dipped in fresh refinisher and wipe with long even strokes
following the grain of the wood to remove lap marks. Allow 30
minutes to dry, then buff thoroughly with a clean dry pad of steel
wool.
CLEAN UP
Use soap and water.
