SPECIFICATIONS
Wood (interior only): Must be clean, dry,
and finish sanded. Substrate should be
free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, and
any contamination to ensure optimum adhesion
and coating performance properties.
Moisture content of wood should be 6 to
8%.
Testing: Due to the wide variety of substrates,
surface preparation methods,
application methods, and environments,
the customer should test the complete
system for adhesion and compatibility
prior to full scale application.
Toner Recommendations:
Sher-Wood Honest Waterbase Lacquer Sanding
Sealer can be used to make toner as follows:
Add up to 5 oz. per gallon of Sher-
Wood Water Reducible Wiping Stain
under thorough agitation; or, add 5 oz per
gallon of Sher-Wood Universal Dye Concentrate
reduced 100% with water to a
blend of 30 oz. of T65F520 reduced 300%
with water under agitation (do not shake).
Caution: Metal cans, both lined and unlined,
are not recommended for packaging
these toners as corrosion will occur.
Note: Honest Waterbase Lacquer and Honest
Waterbase Lacquer Sealer should not be
mixed together as a liquid. They are
not compatible and will turn orange.

use with soap and water.
Flush spray equipment completely with
water followed by flushing with alcohol to
remove water residue and to prevent rusting.
Follow manufacturer's safety recommendations
when using any solvent.

SPECIFICATIONS
Product Limitations:
• Complete water based system is recommended
- stain, sealer and topcoat.
• Not recommended for exterior use.
• Use stainless steel spray equipment.
Tank, piping and containers should be
lined steel or plastic. T65F520 is incompatible
with iron, zinc, and aluminum.
It should not be allowed to come
into contact with these metals or their
alloys in storage tanks, piping, mixers
or containers. Gelation can result.
• Mix thoroughly prior to use. Avoid vigorous
agitation which may cause bubbling
or foaming.
• Must not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
Store inside.
• Dries primarily by water evaporation.
Drying is retarded by high humidity or
cold conditions. Best drying occurs at
relative humidity of 50% or lower and
tempertures of 77°F or above. Good
air movement is essential for complete
dry.
• The customer is urged to pretest the
system under shop conditions.
• Excessive wet film thickness (>5.0
mils wet) may sag - spray thin film.
• Very low humidity may cause
mudcracking and poor film properties.
• When finishing Redwood, Red or
White Oak, and Cedar wood with water
based finishes, tannins may be extracted
from the wood by the water and
cause yellowing staining or discoloration
of the stain, sealer and/or topcoat.
This tannin bleed is most evident with
white or pickled stains and clear topcoat.
Users are urged to thoroughly
test the system under shop conditions.
• Natural finished woods (unstained)
will change color on aging and exposure
to light. This is a natural phenomenon.
Clear finishes will not prevent
the wood from changing color.
• This product, and other water reducible
clears, may yield a slightly different
color over dye stain than solvent
based clears.
• Some applications and equipment
setups, especially air assisted airless
and airless, may be prone to
microfoaming of the wet film which will
give lower gloss and clarity. Do not
use higher pressures than needed for
automization.
• May be tinted with up to 4 ounces of
Honest Joy® Colorants per gallon.
