How to Apply Indigo Sleek Quick Drying 2K PU (Fast Dry)

Achieving a flawless PU finish requires careful preparation and mixing:

1. Surface Prep: Sand the wood with 180-grit sandpaper up to 320-grit. Clean thoroughly. Apply Wood Stain now if desired.
2. Sealer Coat: Apply 2-3 coats of an appropriate sealer (e.g., NC Sanding Sealer or PU Base Coat). Sand the final sealer coat with 400-grit sandpaper.
3. Mixing (CRITICAL): Mix the Base and Hardener strictly according to the ratio. Add PU Thinner (approx. 15–25%) to achieve spraying consistency. Allow the mixture to mature for 30 minutes.
4. Application: Apply 2-3 coats of the PU topcoat using a spray gun (recommended), allowing 4–6 hours between coats. Lightly sand between coats with 600-grit to remove dust nibs.
5. Final Cure: The Quick Dry PU achieves full chemical hardness in 7 days. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals during this time. Learn more about achieving the ultimate PU finish here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is this product faster than standard PU?
A: The Quick Dry formulation uses specialized resins and hardeners that react faster, allowing the coating to dry and accept the next coat in a shorter timeframe without compromising final hardness.

Q: Can I use this with a brush?
A: While possible, 2K PU systems like this are designed for spray application to ensure an even, flawless, glass-smooth finish that maximizes its high-gloss potential and chemical resistance.

Q: What is the maximum hardness difference between Melamine and this PU?
A: PU generally forms a much denser, tighter cross-linked polymer film than Melamine, offering superior resistance to yellowing, impact, and a wider range of chemicals (especially alcohol and heat damage).
