Diamond Glaze is up to ten times tougher than conventional varnish and is resistant to common chemicals, alcohol and water. Suitable for use over materials such as cork tiles, hardwood and chipboards.

Faulty Items Stir thoroughly before you begin, taking care not to use a whipping motion, which will introduce air and cause foaming when applied.

Stir thoroughly, it is recommended that a small test area is applied before treating the entire surface to ensure compatibility.

Seal all new or bare wood by applying one coat of Clear Gloss Diamond Glaze, to help reduce variations in absorbency which can lead to differences in colour and sheen, particularly when working with coloured topcoats of Diamond Glaze.Floor Sanding: For even appearance, prepare the floor by using an industrial drum sander and edge sander, available from a local hire shop. Always sand in the direction of the grain. A belt sander or orbital sander can be used for smaller areas. Remove all dust from floor and surrounding areas using suitable vacuum equipment. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1970s painted surfaces as they may contain harmful lead Rub down the thoroughly cleaned surface with 120 grit abrasive, vacuum and leave to settle overnight. Remove dust from the surface with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Prime the surface with one coat of Diamond Glaze Clear Gloss. Leave overnight to dry then lightly sand with the grain using 120 grit abrasive and remove dust before finishing with a further 2-3 coats. After degreasing the wood, we often recommend application of very thin oils such as Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin 1101 which are especially designed for wood types such as iroko to penetrate into the grain and protect the wood without adhesion issues. Test areas also help ascertain the absorption of the product. Test a small clean area first, sand with 120 grit abrasive and dust off. Apply a test patch of Diamond Glaze - if the Glaze leaves uncoated spots, the surface is contaminated and needs to be stripped. If the film formed is unblemished, leave for 24 hours then test for adhesion by scraping with a coin. If the surface is sound, continue with preparation and priming as described above.
