How to Apply PolyShades
- Stir PolyShades thoroughly, using a clean stirring stick. Gently repeat the stirring every 10 minutes to assure that the color remains evenly distributed throughout the polyurethane.
- Using a high-quality, tapered natural bristle brush, dip only ½ to ¾ of an inch of the bristles into PolyShades.
- Work quickly as you apply PolyShades the length of each board in smooth, even strokes. Use the tip of your brush to gently smooth out the finish. Always apply PolyShades moving your brush back and forth in the direction of the wood grain.
- As you return to the board with a freshly dipped brush, start brushing a few inches beyond where you left off, and then carefully blend the new PolyShades back into the PolyShades you previously applied. Doing so will help eliminate 'lap marks.'
