Furniture Maintenance Instructions.
Step 1: Buff the furniture clean and smooth with the green Scotch pad. Remove the dust with a clean cloth.
Step 2: Move furniture into the shade. Put on latex gloves. Stir the sealer.
Step 3: Thoroughly coat the ends, edges and surface of the boards with the sponge. To avoid lap marks, only apply to a few boards at a time, working from side to side or top to bottom, but with the grain. Keep the leading edge wet.
Step 4: Let your furniture dry and avoid contact with water for at least 24 hours.
