SURFACE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Bare Steel. The substrate should be clean, dry and well degreased. Remove trace of corrosion and apply 1 coat of SOTTOFONDO NAUTICA or EVIOX CROMOMINIO and let dry. Overcoat with 2 coats of TOPKAPI SATINATO allowing 18-24 hours between coats.

Bare Wood. The surface should be clean, dry, smooth and well seasoned. If necessary apply one coat of POLIGLASS VARNISH diluted 50-70% or more in order to sink into the wood but without build up a proper film on the surface (or apply LIGNUM IMPREGNANTE as alternative). After 24 hours apply 1 coat of SOTTOFONDO NAUTICA. Let dry for 24 hours and overcoat with 2 coats of TOPKAPI SATINATO allowing 24 hours between coats.

Previously Painted Surfaces. Loose or powdery paints should be mechanically removed. Clean the surface well and follow application directions as per bare substrates. If the old paint is in good condition and it only needs a topcoat because it is dull or dirty but with the underneath coatings still well fixed to the substrate (with no cracks or bubbles), just sandpaper and apply 2 coats of TOPKAPI SATINATO allowing 24 hours between coats.

Note. In the summer season or when temperatures are higher than 20°C, it is recommended for brush application the use of the flowing Thinner 109.
