Application Guidelines
These are short, general indications. For more detailed instructions, please download the Technical Data Sheet available for this product.
Due to it’s complex application, we highly reccommend previously applying Imprimitura Minerale or Refractive Ground, to easen the process for the first coat.
Once the surface is prepared, stir the product thoroughly with a small stick until it is completely homogenised. Add a few drops of Special Oil and continue stirring until the mixture is homogeneous, to facilitate the application. Do not exceed the ratio of Oil to Mineral Ground = 1/4.
Apply small portions of the mixture to the instrument’s surface using your finger or a brush. Spread it in circular motions, applying light pressure and ensuring no excess remains.
Allow the product to dry through sunlight or UV light. Although the drying time depends on factors such as light amount and intensity or humidity, maintain a minimum of 8 hours of UV light exposure.
Once the first coat is dry, apply a second coat and proceed as in the first step. Excellent results are achieved by using two very thin and even coats.
When the ground is thoroughly dry, in some cases, lightly rub the surface with a linen or cotton cloth dampened with de-aromatised petroleum essence (wear gloves) to remove any mineral particles that may have surfaced. Allow to dry.
