Old Finishes: Old finishes in good condition should be washed with AWL-PREP Surface Cleaner, then sanded with 220-320 grit paper to remove the gloss. Old finishes in poor condition should be removed. Test on a small area to make sure AWL-BRITE CLEAR doesn’t attack the old finish. If old finish is attacked, it must be completely removed before applying the Ultimate Brightwork System.
Interior Applications: AWL-BRITE should only be applied over properly prepared AWL-SPAR (M3131) or AWL-SPAR H.S. (M3146), or QUIK-FIL (J3901/J3902). Do not apply AWL-BRITE directly to bare wood.
Note: Due to the wide variety of substrates, surface preparations, application methods and environments, customers should test the complete system for adhesion and compatibility under their conditions prior to full scale application.

Application Instructions
General: The key to performance of any varnish system is applying enough material. This is especially true with AWL-BRITE CLEAR Urethane. These directions call for more coats than are needed to achieve basic cosmetic qualities. If you stop the system when it looks good, or sand excessively, you will not achieve the desired performance. Apply light, smooth coats. Apply two coats in an 8 hour period. Allow to cure 8-12 hours or overnight and repeat. Ten coats are recommended.
Sand as little as possible. Sanding is only required when:
Runs, sags or brush marks need to be leveled.
Dirt or grit needs to be removed from the surface.
If it has been more than 36 hours since the last application.
If no leveling is required, but it has been more than 36 hours since the last application; dulling the surface with Scotchbrite? Pads is recommended, see the application guide for systems. If possible, avoid applying or curing the material in direct sunlight. Do not apply or attempt to cure AWL-BRITE CLEAR below 65F (18C ) or over 95F (35C).
