To ensure a uniform layer layout entirely free of surface ripples, it is highly recommended to apply this clear topcoat using a conventional spray gun configuration operating at an atomizing pressure of 2.0 to 2.5 kg/cm². Always filter the thinned and matured mix through a clean nylon mesh strain before loading the spray canister to catch micro-particles.

Necessary Steps Before Applying the Topcoat

1. Initial Surface Sanding: Systematically abrade the raw wood layout along the direction of the natural grain lines using Sandpaper No. 180. Wipe clean with a soft dry rag to remove loose dust fibers
2. Knot & Dent Plugging: Fill visible structural fissures, surface cracks, or hardware holes using premium wood fillers. Allow the filler compound to dry completely before flat-sanding the patches uniform with the profile
3. Timber Staining (Optional): If a shade adjustment is needed, apply a coat of WoodTech Wood Stains Interiors evenly via ragging or spray machine. Allow a 30-minute drying window; never mix stains directly into the clear Melamyne base
4. Foundational Sealer Coats: Mix WoodTech Melamyne Sealer base and hardener in a strict 9:1 ratio, thinned 20% to 40%. Spray or brush 2 separate foundational layers, honoring a dry window of 5–6 hours for spraying or 8–10 hours for brushing
5. Intermediate Sealer Sanding: Once the sealer layers dry completely, sand the layout lightly using fine Sandpaper No. 320 or 400 to trim down raised grain lips. Clean off all dust; never utilize steel wool for abrading
6. Topcoat Mixing Process: Thoroughly agitate the Melamyne Matt Base (1790) container. Mix the Matt Base and Melamyne Hardener in a precise 90:10 volumetric ratio. Dilute the combined solution with 20% to 40% WoodTech Melamyne Spraying Thinner
7. Topcoat Application: Spray 2 uniform coats of the activated WoodTech Melamyne Matt mix, maintaining a crisp 5 to 6-hour drying interval between layers. Sand very lightly with fine paper between the coats to eliminate settled dust nibs
