Awlwood MA is a two-step clear coating system consisting of a Primer and a Clear Topcoat Finish Gloss. The Primer bonds to the wood, while the Clear Topcoat provides a natural look with outstanding multi-season performance.
Aside from its outstanding appearance, Awlwood is incredibly simple to use and quick to apply. With fewer coats, faster drying (can be overcoated in as little as 1-1/2 to 4 hours!) and typically no sanding required between coats - Awlwood can achieve a stunning, better-than-varnish finish in just a few days, instead of weeks.
The Awlwood Clear Topcoat features an inherently non-yellowing polymer, further stabilized with high performance UV absorbers bonded directly to the resin (an industry first) giving multi-season clarity of film, and excellent gloss and depth retention - far exceeding any varnish..
The permanently flexible Awlwood Primer creates cross-links deep within the wood molecular structure, and ensures a perfect bond to the topcoat finish. The resulting system moves and flexes unlike any varnish - giving unparalleled performance, with longer periods between re-coats.
Awlgrip recommends applying several coats of Awlwood MA Clear Finish over the Primer - like varnish, the more coats, the greater the "depth" of finish. Ideally, at least 12 hours should elapse after the application of the last coat of Gloss before overcoating with the Satin Matte. In cold temperatures, more time will be required.
