Instructions
Tape off any areas where you do not want to apply paint.
Use a toothbrush or small wire brush to remove any loose paint or other finishes.
Spray the table with ‘Clean & Prep’. Wait for a minute and wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Make sure the wood is completely dry before you proceed.
If your table has ornate grooves, use a stencil brush to pounce paint into the grooves.
Paint over the table with a regular brush.
Let dry for 2 hours, and then give it a second coat.
When the paint is completely dry, brush on the protective varnish with a foam applicator.
For a more even coverage, apply a second coat of the glaze.
