Instructions for Use
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
On plaster or other porous surfaces, it acts as a primer, applying one or two coats. It can also be used as a glossy finishing varnish. On wood: If the wood is new, it must be well smoothed (sanded), clean, and dry. Then apply 3 or 4 coats, allowing each coat to dry completely. Apply with a brush or flat brush. On wood, it can also be applied with a pad, loading and polishing slowly using the classic method, with the pad not too loaded. As many passes as needed can be applied, allowing each to dry completely, until a uniform and glossy finish is achieved.
Precautions
Before using the product, read the instructions on the container carefully. For more information, consult the Safety Data Sheet.
We have already mentioned the use of TITAN SHELLAC in some procedures, such as preparing surfaces to be gilded and aged with ACUALUX and BITUMEN OF JUDEA, but its use also extends to other fields. It is normally used as a primer for any type of porous surface and is an excellent finishing varnish, but it also improves the properties of wood, enhancing its grain and making it harder; it eliminates the excessive porosity of plaster, making the applied colors much brighter, and can even be used as a binder for powdered pigments. It dries by evaporation and the tools used in its application must be washed with alcohol.
