📝 Application Guide (Brief):

For optimal results, follow these general guidelines:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, free of grease, dust, and any loose material. Sand the substrate appropriately and apply a suitable Duco Primer and Filler system for best adhesion and smoothness.
2. Thinning: Dilute Duco Finish with Duco Thinner to achieve the desired viscosity for your chosen application method (typically 20-50% for spraying, less for brushing).
3. Application: Apply multiple thin, even coats. For spraying, maintain consistent distance and overlap. Allow sufficient drying time between coats (1-2 hours) to avoid solvent trapping and ensure proper adhesion. Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper between coats to remove nibs and promote inter-coat adhesion, then clean thoroughly.
4. Finishing: Once the final coat is fully cured (allow several days for maximum hardness), the surface can be wet-sanded with progressively finer grits and then buffed and polished using automotive-grade compounds for an ultimate mirror shine.
