    Perfect Application, Every Time

    Preparing Your Surface

    For timber, ensure it’s clean, dry, and sanded with P120 grit paper. Awlwood Primer should be fully absorbed before applying the first coat of Awlwood Gloss. If you’re working with epoxy primer or fibreglass, sand to a P180 grit finish to achieve a smooth base.

    Application Tips

    Awlwood Clear Gloss is versatile and easy to apply with a brush, foam, or mohair roller. In hotter climates, thinning with Awlwood Brushing Reducer ensures a smooth application. For spray applications, use Awlwood Spray Reducer for optimal results.

    Building the Perfect Finish

    Start with 2–3 coats to fill the grain, lightly sanding between each to flatten the texture. Once the grain is filled, apply additional coats using the multicoating method. For those seeking a traditional look, add up to 10% of Awlwood colored primer during the early coats. Finish with a crystal-clear topcoat for ultimate protection.

    Final Touches

    The final coat is where the magic happens. After sanding with P400 grit or finer, apply your last layer under ideal conditions—cool, calm, and out of direct sunlight. Whether brushed or sprayed, the result will be a deep, lustrous finish that turns heads.

    Durability That Lasts

    The Awlwood system is engineered for strength, weather resistance, and long-lasting performance. With a minimum of 8 coats, you’ll achieve a protective film build that stands up to Australia’s harsh marine conditions. Plus, maintenance is a breeze—light sanding and a couple of fresh coats will keep your finish looking brand new.
