Note:
We suggest you familiarize yourself with this method first on a scrap piece
before attempting on a real project. For use on natural, unstained, wood
surfaces only.
Now you and your customers
can have the finish to end all finishes on table tops, cabinets and just
about any flat surface that can be worked horizontally. A few minutes of
testing this HOT STUFF™ method on a scrap piece and we think you'll agree
that the finish you can get is beautiful, almost bullet-proof
and very fast.
This method should only be used outside or in well-ventilated area
as the curing fumes of HOT STUFF™ can be uncomfortable. If ventilation
is a problem, try our new UFO™ (User-Friendly Odorless) Thin
type. UFO™ has no fumes or odor. All applications of HOT STUFF™
or UFO™ should be done over a drop-cloth to protect the bench
or floor.
UFO™ Thin or HOT STUFF™ Original (Red Label) and
NCF-Mild Accelerator™
Set the unfinished piece horizontally
and wipe off all wood dust. Vacuuming is best. Apply UFO™ Thin
or HOT STUFF™ to a small area and, using a business card, move
the liquid around to cover as much area as possible. Repeat until the surface
has been coated.
Once the whole surface is coated, instant
curing is done by misting on a light spray of NCF™-Mild accelerator. Best
results are achieved by holding the NCF-Mild™ bottle about three
feet above the work and spraying lightly. Care should be taken not to hold
the bottle over the work. This is to prevent a drip from falling onto the
curing UFO™ Thin or HOT STUFF™ and causing a foaming
effect. Let stand for a minute, then repeat this curing procedure to make
sure all is cured. Test the area to make sure itās all cured, by lightly
passing your hand over the work.
Block sand with 320 grit 3M "Tri-Mite" silicon carbide paper. Do not
wet sand. Keeping the work dry is essential.
After wiping off and vacuuming all dust, repeat the whole procedure
once or twice more to achieve the depth you desire. Finer, 400 to
600 grit paper can be used now between coats. Usually two coats is
enough for a beautiful finish.
When all applications and sanding have been done, check carefully
to see if any areas have been sanded through the UFO™ Thin or
HOT STUFF™, to the wood. If so, touch up the raw area and blend
in. Take care not to sand through the UFO™ Thin. Rub with fine
steel wool to a satin luster. Follow with polish and wax for a high
gloss finish, if desired.
