Application Instructions (Step-by-Step for DIY Success):

1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Sand lightly (400-600 grit) for better adhesion if applying over existing finishes. Mask off areas not to be coated.
2. Mixing: In a clean container, mix 4 parts PlatinumX Clear Coat with 1 part Medium Hardener. Stir thoroughly for 2-3 minutes. No reducer needed for standard applications, but if desired, use a compatible urethane reducer (up to 10%) for better flow in cooler conditions.
3. Application: Apply 2-3 medium wet coats, allowing 10-15 minutes flash time between coats. Use even, overlapping strokes to avoid orange peel or drips. Ideal temperature: 60-80°F (15-27°C) with low humidity.
4. Curing: Let dry in a dust-free environment. Avoid heavy use or exposure to chemicals for the first 7 days.
5. Cleanup: Use acetone or lacquer thinner for tools and spills while wet.
6. Safety Tips: Wear gloves, eye protection, and a respirator. Work in a well-ventilated area. Not for use on surfaces exceeding 200°F.
