Preparation Cetol® Marine Gloss is a gloss topcoat that can only be applied on top of a minimum of 2 coats of Cetol® Marine, Cetol® Marine Light or Cetol® Marine Natural Teak.
Method The wood moisture content should be below 18%. Apply liberally using a long-haired bristle
brush, smoothly, in the direction of the grain. Keep a wet edge to prevent lap marks and thoroughly saturate end grains where possible. Apply 2-3 coats of Cetol® Marine Gloss. Always allow 24 hours drying time in between coats. Sanding between coats is not recommended as this will result in a reduction of dry film thickness. Recommended film thickness must be applied to ensure effective product performance. Apply all coats within 1-2 weeks.

Make regular inspections to all coated areas. Problem areas should be attended to immediately
and maintenance coats should be routinely applied. If the coating is allowed to weather beyond
the regular maintenance period of 1 year, returning this surface to excellent condition will be more difficult. Before application of a maintenance coat of Cetol® Marine Gloss, clean the surface with Interlux® All Purpose Boat Soap to remove any surface contaminants as per instructions on label. If blue fungi or mildew are present then they can be treated with Interlux Premium Teak Restorer with a nylon scruffing pad as per instructions on label. Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Sand lightly with 220-320 (grade) grit paper. After sanding, wipe with Interlux Special Thinner 216 and let to dry thoroughly prior to the application of the maintenance coat of Cetol® Marine Gloss. Cetol® Gloss is not suitable for use on immersed areas.

Hints

Mixing Stir thoroughly before use.
Thinner Do not thin.
Cleaner Special Thinner 216.
Ventilation and Humidity Control Ensure adequate ventilation during use.
Airless Spray Not recommended.
Roller Not recommended.
Other Before applying any Cetol® product, prepare a 2-3 coat test sample on your wood to
confirm desired color results. To achieve optimal color results always use the same Cetol® product initially applied when overcoating or applying maintenance coats. Some Important Points If Cetol® Marine Gloss is spilled on gelcoat, remove immediately. Difficult stains may be removed from gelcoat with Interlux Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Do not allow excess Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 to remain on gelcoat. For painted surfaces ONLY use Interlux Special Thinner 216. Do not allow excess Special Thinner 216 to remain on painted surfaces. Do not apply at temperatures within 3°C of dew poin t or in wet weather. Substrate temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Ambient temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Product tem perature should be no less than 10° C/50°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Avoid painting in dire ct sunlight.
Compatibility/Substrates Suitable for use on all types of wood including oily timbers such as Teak.
Number of Coats 2-3 as per specification.
Coverage (Theoretical) - 305.3 (ft²/Gal) - up to 400 ft²/gal (10 m²/lt) per coat. On new wood the coverage of the first coat will be lower as Cetol® Marine Gloss will penetrate the wood.
(Practical) - Dependant upon the surface roughness and conditions of application.
Recommended DFT 0.6 mils dry to 20 microns dry.
Recommended WFT 1.2 mils wet to 40 microns wet.
