APPLYING GENERAL FINISHES MILK PAINT TO LAMINATE
IMPORTANT: GF advises extra care and prep when applying any finish over laminate surfaces because they are specifically designed not to mar and therefore they are not very "sand-able", making adherence difficult.
- Power clean by scrubbing with a solution of water and a strong detergent such as Dawn or Spic & Span, using a Scotch-Brite pad. Rinse thoroughly.
- Then follow with a second scrubbing with a 50:50 mix of denatured alcohol and water, also using a Scotch-Brite pad. Let dry completely.
- Sand with a power sander.150-grit followed by 180 grit sandpaper. (some users report using 220 grit sandpaper). Wipe off the dust.
- Apply XIM 400 White Primer Sealer Bonder(follow label applications instructions but let dry longer, 12 hours or overnight.)
- Apply 2 coats of Milk Paint allowing triple drying time.
