How to Apply Indigo Sleek Melamine (Gold) Two Pack (Step-by-Step)

1. Surface Preparation: Sand the wood with 180-grit sandpaper to create a smooth, clean surface. Remove all dust.
2. Staining (Optional): Apply wood stains if a different color tone is desired. Allow to dry completely.
3. Sealer Coat: Apply one to two coats of NC Sanding Sealer to fill the grain. Sand smooth with 320/400-grit paper after drying.
4. Mixing: Mix the Base and Hardener in the specified ratio. Add the recommended Melamine Thinner (usually 30-40% for spraying). Allow the mixture to mature for 15-30 minutes.
5. Application: Apply 2-3 coats of Indigo Sleek Melamine (Gold) Two Pack using a spray gun or brush, allowing 4-6 hours between coats.
6. Curing: The finish will be hard dry in 24 hours, but allow 7 days for full chemical curing before heavy use. Ensure good ventilation when applying solvent finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Melamine better than PU?
A: PU (Polyurethane) is generally tougher, more flexible, and more chemical-resistant. Melamine offers a very hard, chemically resistant finish at a lower cost than PU.

Q: Can I use standard MTO thinner with this product?
A: No. You must use the recommended Melamine Thinner, as MTO will react poorly and ruin the finish, gloss, and durability of the two-pack system.

Q: Does this finish yellow over time?
A: Like all solvent-based finishes, Melamine may show slight yellowing over many years compared to non-yellowing PU options, but the Gold series is designed for enhanced color stability.
