Preparation
How to prepare your timber for Feast Watson Glass Finish:
Before you get started:
- Ensure your surface is dry and free from dust, grease, wax or oil.
- Ensure the surface is level.
How to set up your work area:
- The surface should be elevated from the work area about 2 inches to allow the coating to drip freely off the sides of the item being coated.
- Place aluminium, plastic sheeting, wax paper underneath the item being coated to catch drips.
- Use tape to cover areas that you do not want coated.
- We recommend sealing the surface with a suitable sealer before applying Glass Finish.

- As soon as the product is mixed, pour over the surface that is to be coated. Caution: If product is left in mixing container it will become hot and set rapidly.
- Spread evenly with a brush or spreader. Do NOT roll or spray.

4. Degass
- If bubbles occur after about 5 minutes, they can be easily broken. Just gently exhale onto them until they disappear.
- A propane torch is recommended to remove bubbles from a freshly coated surface. Sweep area with the propane torch from 15cm above surface until bubbles disappear. Use a low flame. Do NOT hold torch in one area for too long. Caution: Avoid inhaling fumes.
Note: It is carbon dioxide, not heat which breaks up bubbles. Do NOT use a heater or a hair dryer. Do NOT try to remove bubbles after 30 minutes.
