Particular instructions ADAMANT can be polished and buffed after at least 16 h / 20 °C. Forced drying is possible up to a maximum of 30 °C. Pre-priming is an option depending on the desired surface requirements and the substrate material, e.g. using clear Hesse PU Basecoats DG 417 / DG 4717-0005, DG 468-3 / DG 4760, DG 4750 and with Hesse PU Colour lacquers DB 45245-(colour tone), DB 45205-(colour tone) and DB 48885-(colour tone). Due to ADAMANT’s inherent colouring, check colour tones in advance when finishing with colour lacquers! The addition of 10 - 30 % thinner to the lacquer/hardener mixture should be adapted according to the component and application conditions. This product is not suitable for use on bleached surfaces!

The more porous the wood, the greater the number of basecoats to be applied. Only a maximum of 400 g/m² should be applied in wet film on one working day, then a drying time of > 16 h / 20 °C is required. Apply as many basecoats as are required to ensure the surface is closed-pore prior to lacquer sanding! The final basecoat with OPTI-BASE DG 4750 must be left to dry for > 48 h / 20 °C! PU Thinner DV 4981 can optionally be used at higher temperatures or on very large coating surfaces.
