Surface preparation is critical to the outcome and longevity of this product. Do not apply if temperature is above 35 °C or below 10°C or if rain is expected within 24 hours.

All surfaces to be coated with Monocel Liquid Wax should be clean and dry, free from wax, oil, grease and other contaminants.

Fine sand with 240-grit sandpaper, rounding off all sharp edges and corners and then thoroughly dust prior to application. A tack rag is recommended for dusting.

All previous paint, varnish, shellac or lacquer must be totally removed and stripped back to bare timber before coating with Monocel Liquid Wax. If the surface has been previously coated with Monocel Liquid Wax and is still in a good condition, the surface should be lightly sanded and thoroughly cleaned before recoating.
