Overview
Morrells 280 High Solids Basecoat is a high build, pre-catalyst basecoat for preparing wooden surfaces before the application of a lacquer such as Morrells 280 Pre-cat Lacquer, to provide a fuller finish. Contains filling agents to assist with sanding, to provide a better, smoother finish.
Preparation
Ensure that all wooden surfaces are clean, dry and free from surface dirt, debris, waxes and oils.
- Fill any gaps or splits with Morrells Wax Filler Sticks or Morrells Two-Part Coloured Wood Fillers
- Surfaces can be degreased with White Spirit before coating with Morrells 280 High Solids Basecoat
Application
Always do a test area before starting any project to test product performance and results. Follow the manufacturers instructions on the tin at all times. Optimum application is achieved between 18°C and 22°C with good air movement and ventilation.
- Apply the basecoat with a spray applicator
- Leave adequate drying time between coats
- Denib between coats to aid with adhesion
- Do not apply more than 3 coats in one day, as excessive coating weights can lead to cracking or lifting
Cleaning Equipment
Spray applicators can be cleaned after use with Morrells Equipment Cleaner.
Some Points of Note
- Do not overcoat with 1K or 2K Polyurethane (PU) products
- This range is not suitable for "pulling over"
- Use 2007/200 Anti-Chill Thinners when applying in conditions of high atmospheric humidity, using a maximum of 5% by volume
- Use 2007/201 Retarder Thinners to slow down the drying in warm conditions, using a maximum of 5% by volume
- Product should be stored above 5°C and protected from frost
- Finished products should not be subjected to environments with temperatures of < 2°C
Using these products in systems outside these guidelines can lead to immediate and latent problems with the integrity of the finish.
Finishing
Once Morrells 280 High Solids Basecoat is dry, a top coat of Morrells 280 Pre-cat Lacquer can be applied.
