Directions

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

• Surface must be dry, clean, and free of dirt, grease and glue before starting.
• For stripped, unstained or raw wood: sand in the direction of grain with fine-grade sandpaper (#220) until smooth.
• For previously stained wood that is not being stripped: sand lightly to ensure adhesion.
• Remove all sanding dust.

PRODUCT PREPARATION AND COLOR TESTING:

• Shake can vigorously for 2 minutes. Shake for 10 seconds occasionally during use.
• Always test on a scrap piece or hidden area to verify color. Practice spraying on a sample board before moving on to your project.
• Protect adjacent areas from overspray.

APPLICATION:

• Hold can 8"-10" from surface. Depress button fully and spray in an even sweeping motion. Always begin and end each pass off the surface to prevent blotches.
• Apply a THIN coat to lightly seal the wood. Do not attempt to achieve complete color coverage with this first light coat. Wait 5-10 minutes before applying the next coat. Be careful not to overapply to avoid runs and sags.
• To deepen the color, allow PolyShades® to dry at least 6 hours (dry time may be extended due to high humidity, low temperatures, and inadequate ventilation or if the coat applied is too thick). Rub surface lightly with fine steel wool (grade 000 and finer), remove all dust, and apply the next coat. Repeat if necessary.
• After final coat, allow 24 hours before normal use.
• For additional protection without adding color, add a coat of Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane or Minwax® Wipe-on Poly following label directions.

HELPFUL TIPS:

• Keep even distance from surface while spraying.
• If a run occurs, brush it out with a clean bristle brush immediately. Do not attempt to wipe it off with a rag.
• Work outside or in a well ventilated area. Remove overspray with mineral spirits following manufacturer's safety instructions.

NOZZLE CARE:

• After each use, clear valve by holding can upside down and spraying until only clear gas comes out.
• If spray button becomes clogged, wear eye protection, wipe off the button opening with lacquer thinner. DO NOT stick pins or wire into can opening.

FAQ

Q. Can I apply PolyShades® aerosol over an existing finish?
Yes, as long as the existing finish is stain or polyurethane. Make sure you lightly sand the existing finish with #220 sandpaper before applying PolyShades® aerosol.

Q. What do I do if the nozzle gets clogged and I can't get any color out?
Turn the can upside down and spray until only clear gas comes out. This will clear the valve. You can also clean the spray button's opening by wiping it off with lacquer thinner.

Q. Can PolyShades® aerosol be used on floors?
No, PolyShades® aerosol is not recommended for use on floors.
