1. Always wear gloves when working with Conversion Varnish.
2. Stir Conversion Varnish in the can to ensure a consistent sheen.
3. Use a  pour fitting to keep the can clean.
4. Only mix what you will use; once Catalyst is added, Conversion Varnish has a limited pot life.
5. Mix 1 Part Catalyst to 10 Parts Conversion Varnish, Measured by Weight or Volume. 
6. Using a power drill with mixing blade, create a vortex in the Conversion Varnish. This vortex is critical to the success of the mix. 
7. SLOWLY pour Catalyst into Conversion Varnish.
8. Continue mixing for 1-2 minutes. Mix for 3 total minutes.
9. Allow mixture to rest for 10-15 minutes before spraying. 
10. Once Catalyzed, Conversion Varnish has a 6-8-hour pot life.  
11. Conversion Varnish MUST be filtered using a fine filter. 

When using pressurized pot spray systems, open the air vent when not in use. If left under pressure, the Conversion Varnish will continue to off-gas, building additional pressure, which will diminish pot life.

Once applied, Conversion Varnish will typically be ready to recoat in 40-60 minutes. Cure time is 7 days.
