Dulux Trade Diamond Glaze Gloss 1L

Product Information

All traces of grease, wax and polish must be completely removed prior to applying Diamond Glaze Varnish Stir thoroughly before you begin, taking care not to use a whipping motion, which will introduce air and cause foaming when applied. To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be varnished are sound, clean and dry. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead. After cleaning or stripping a test area, place a drop of water on the bare wood - if it forms a bead, wax is still present and Diamond Glaze should not be used without thorough preparation. If the water disperses, carry out the application/adhesion tests above before proceeding with cleaning, stripping and priming. Coated surfaces in poor condition: Where the existing coating is defective it must be completely removed and the surface prepared as described for new or bare wood above.

New or bare wood: Sand the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any imperfections etc. and remove residues with a damp lint free cloth. Seal all new or bare wood by applying one coat of Clear Gloss Diamond Glaze, to help reduce variations in absorbency which can lead to differences in colour and sheen, particularly when working with coloured topcoats of Diamond Glaze. I am sorry to hear that your project did not turn out as expected, I suspect this may be due to the high oil content in dense hardwoods such as Iroko.

Floor Sanding: To achieve an even appearance, prepare the floor by using an industrial drum sander and edge sander (available from a local hire shop). Always sand in the direction of the grain. A belt sander or orbital sander can be used for smaller areas. Remove all dust from floor and surrounding areas using suitable vacuum equipment. Apply 2 or 3 coats evenly and consistently, taking care to keep the 'wet edge' alive and finish off along the grain. General: All traces of grease, wax and polish must be completely removed. See Diamond Glaze Varnish from Dulux Trade leaflets for further information. Diamond Glaze Varnish is not suitable for use on laminated floors. Test a small clean area first, sand with 120 grit abrasive and dust off. Apply a test patch of Diamond Glaze - if the Glaze leaves uncoated spots, the surface is contaminated and needs to be stripped. If the film formed is unblemished, leave for 24 hours then test for adhesion by scraping with a coin. If the surface is sound, continue with preparation and priming as described above.
