How do I apply AquaCoat PU 1K?
Sand bare wood smooth (hardwood from #80 up to #220; veneer from #220), always along the grain. Apply 2-3 coats of AquaCoat 1K PU Sealer Clear, 8 hours apart, sanding with #220 before the first and #400 before the next. Then apply 2 coats of AquaCoat 1K PU Glossy or Matte Clear, 8 hours apart.
Can I apply it with a brush?

What is the difference between AquaCoat PU 1K and 2K?
1K is a single-pack water-based finish for interior wood. AquaCoat PU 2K is a two-pack water-based finish made for exterior wood and wooden floors.
Why should I not shake the container?
MRF advises mixing the base with a glass or stainless steel rod instead of shaking it, before adding demineralised water, to avoid trapping air in the finish.
