Instructions

Step 1

Before painting, carefully prepare the surface by sanding it with 100 grit sandpaper to remove all old paint. Complete by sanding with a 150-180 grit sandpaper, making sure to remove any impurities with a dusting brush. The wood must be clean and dry.

Step 2

Now that your surface is ready, open your can of IMG no-drop water-based impregnating agent for wood of the color you prefer (for this tutorial we used IMG08 -WALNUT), stirring it very well before use. Apply the product on the surface with a paint brush, working in long and linear movements.

Step 3

Wait 2 hours (or in any case not more than 4 hours) to allow the impregnating agent to dry before applying the FNC transparent water-based topcoat for wood (in this case we used FNC01- MATT CEDAR). Stir the product very well before applying it on your surface with a paint brush.

Step 4

Wait 2 to 4 hours before applying a second coat of FNC transparent water-base topcoat for wood.
