Now is the time to enhance those interior timber features with Quantum’s MICROCLEAR – a single pack, water based, environmentally responsible, fast drying urethane. This clear urethane may be tinted with either of Quantum’s transparent or solid opaque stains to provide extra life through added UV stabilisers.

This hardwearing, low odour, non-toxic urethane will have those drab interior surfaces looking their absolute best in no time. With finish levels available in matt, satin and gloss; along with the possibility of over 70 colour choices to suit your interior palette – those interior timber doors, trims and window frames will be magical in no time.

So let’s get started!

Good preparation is key to a professional looking, long lasting finish. Before you start – Take some before shots using your smart device.

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from all dirt, dust, grease and grime. Tape surrounding areas up – and if spraying MICROCLEAR ensure surrounding walls and floors are adequately covered.
  2. Sanding is not usually required, however if grain raising occurs de-nib / lightly sand after the first coat.
  3. Using a brush, roller (short nap) or spray gun, apply your first coat of MICROCLEAR. Remember: Touch dry 30 minutes and Recoat 1 hour*. If Spraying: Airless spray recommended. Use a 0.33 to 0.38mm (13 – 15 thou) orifice, 10cm fan (dependent on job) with a regulated pump pressure of 350-400 kPa (50 – 55 psi) tip pressure. Back brushing is recommended to achieve an even finish. Use PPE i.e. mask, googles and overalls. Remember to watch your overspray.
  4. Apply the 2nd and if desired 3rd coat using the same method chosen in step 2. Allow adequate drying time in between coats.
  5. Enjoy your handiwork – Step back and admire how great those doors, trims and window frames look by comparing the before pictures with your completed work. You will be surprised the difference MIRCOCLEAR has made to your home after you view those pictures.
