Tutorial: Extreme Protection Polyurethane

Extreme Protection Polyurethane is a non-yellowing, environmentally safe top coat. It is super hard, clear, and easy to use, offering scratch, chemical, and water resistance for various surfaces. Perfect for bar-tops, floors, and more, it dries CrystaLac clear and can be applied by brushing or spraying, providing added UV stability to preserve colors and prevent fading.

 

  1. Environment: For best results, apply in an environment above 68 degrees. Do not subject Extreme Protection Polyurethane to freezing temperatures.

  2. Preparation: 

    1. Prior to using this top coat, we recommend using CrystaLac Amber Toned Sanding Sealer to enrich the warm natural colors in the wood and minimize grain raising. 

    2. If applying over anything else, make sure it is applied over thoroughly dried oil or water-based stains, shellac, lacquer, polyurethane or acrylic. 

    3. If recoating over an old finish, scuff sand first and remove any surface contaminants such as dirt, waxes or polishes.

  3. Application: Apply 3-5 coats for a beautiful, protective finish. More coats may be added based on preference.

  4. Dry Time: Extreme Protection Polyurethane will be dry to the touch in 30 minutes to an hour. 

  5. Recoat Time: Allow 2 to 4 hours of dry time between coats.
