Sashco Symphony – Data Tech

Dilution/Stirring Do not dilute.  Stir thoroughly before using.  Do not shake as this will cause foaming. Application Methods For best results, apply Symphony with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush.  It may also be applied with a foam brush, pad applicator or spray applicator.  Back brushing after spraying will enhance penetration in the wood surface.  Brush material in the direction of the grain.  Do not over-brush (bubbles can form).  Sand between coats for a smoother finish. Number of Coats Apply two or more coats – additional coats will give a more durable finish, with higher gloss and more depth. Dry Time Symphony will dry to touch in one hour and can be sanded after two hours (when the air is warm & dry).  Recoating can be done after 1-2 hours.  Allow wood that will be handled to dry overnight before using.  Actual dry time depends on thickness of coats, temperature and humidity. Coverage The first coat will cover 200-300 sq. ft./gal. (18-28 sq m/gal.).  Average coverage rate after first coat is 400-500 sq. ft/gal. (37-46 sq. m/gal.).  Porous wood will result in reduced coverage. Room Conditions Apply when 50-90 deg. F.  Best results are obtained at 60-90 deg. F.  Avoid applying in cold drafts or areas with no overhead roofs. Freeze-Thaw Stability Symphony may freeze if exposed to very low temperatures.  If Symphony does freeze, store in a warm area until completely thawed and at room temperature before using.  Tested through 5 freeze-thaw cycles. Clean Up Clean equipment and hands with soap and water.  Spray equipment should be cleaned with water followed by cleaning paint thinner to clean dried material. Storage While freeze-thaw stable, it is best to store Symphony at a moderate temperature, between 60 deg. F and 80 deg. F.  Store in tightly sealed containers.  Cover the pails when not in use.
