Application
New Wood
If you've decided to keep your logs natural looking and only want to apply Symphony
to bare wood, best results are obtained if you sand the wood to a smooth finish
with fine sandpaper. Be certain to remove all dust before finishing. Do not use
steel wool; it may cause rust stains. For a smoother finish, sand between coats.
Finished Wood
Compatibility is a huge issue, so logs that already have some type of stain or sealer
on them will need to be tested for compatibility; call us and we will talk you through
the testing procedure. For best adhesion to non-Sashco coatings, it is usually best
to lightly sand the surface before applying Symphony. Old finishes may need to be
mechanically removed if a lighter appearance is desired.
Dilution/Stirring
Do not dilute. Stir thoroughly before using. Do not shake as this will cause foaming.
Application Methods
Brush or spray on two or more coats. More coats will impart a higher sheen. If brushing,
use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush, such as Purdy® brand. Back brushing
after spraying will enhance penetration into the wood surface. Brush material in
the direction of the grain. Do not over-brush (bubbles can form). Sand between coats
for a smoother finish.
Dry Time
Symphony will dry to touch in one hour and can be sanded after two hours (when the
air is warm and dry). Recoating can be done after 1-2 hours. Allow wood that will
be handled to dry overnight. Actual dry time depends on thickness of coats, temperature
and humidity.
