If necessary, before coating with PolySeal fill any holes or checks will a good quality acrylic or latex based wood filler.

If application temperatures are significantly colder or hotter, PolySeal may not apply in a smooth and fluid manner resulting in an uneven application and appearance. Application in high humidity will extend the dry time and at times can interfere with the ability of PolySeal to spread evenly and form a good film.   Application Methods Apply PolySeal Interior Wood Finish with a good quality synthetic bristle varnish Brush or a pad applicator. Apply in even strokes and avoid excessive brushing. Do not apply this product with an airless sprayer. Because PolySeal dries fast, care must be taken to avoid lap marks. Apply PolySeal at a steady even tempo and always coat the piece of wood to completion, don’t stop in the middle. When reloading the applicator begin the new application 4-6 inches in advance of where you stopped and work back to the stopping point and then proceed forward in order to reduce the likelihood of lap marks.   Clean-Up After applying PolySeal clean brushes, tools and equipment immediately with warm soapy water and then rinse clean with fresh warm water.   Dry to Touch PolySeal will be dry to the touch within 60 to 90 minutes after application, assuming it was applied at 70 °F and in moderate humidity. Please note that a milky haze can occur if a second coat is applied too quickly without allowing the previous coat to properly dry.   Maintenance Keep PolySeal coated wood surfaces dusted and clean.
