How to prepare Feast Watson French Polish:
New Timber
How to prepare new timber
- Make sure your timber surface is dry and free from any traces of dust, dirt, glue, wax, grease, and oil.
- Fill any timber defects with a suitable wood putty.
- Note: A blend of multiple putty colours may be required to match the timer colouring.
- If the timber grain is open or very coarse apply one coat of Feast Watson Sanding Sealer and when thoroughly dry, sand off back to bare timber.
- Using a medium grit and then fine grit paper, sand new bare timber. Remember to remove all sanding dust by sweeping and vacuuming between each sanding grade.
Previously Coated Timber
- Ensure the old finish is completely removed by first sanding with a coarse paper, or stripping, then sand as for new bare timber.
- If the old coating is a varnish, it will only need to be sanded back to a smooth, uniform matt finish.
- Any wax build up on old French Polished surfaces should be removed by wiping with a cloth dampened with warm soapy water or pure turpentine.
