Vintage effect

Fields of application : For striking, durable surfaces in interiors and shop fitting, as well as high-quality hotel fittings.

Process example:

Shop fittings in a frame structure made of brushed, structured knotted pine in a vintage look

• Brush the substrate material down to the structure by machine.
• Lightly sand the structured three-layer board with its solid wooden frame made of knotted pine using 180 grit sandpaper, then carefully remove all dust from the surfaces.
• 1 x wood stain with Precious wood stain BE 83-22481 via spraying or brushing application. Then remove the excess wood stain.
• Let dry for at least 4 hours / 20 °C
• Apply 1 x 100 - 120 g/m² coloured lacquer with UNA-COLOR DB 45245-9010, mixing ratio (by volume) 10 : 1 with PU Hardener DR 4070, adding 10 - 15 % of PU thinner DV 4900 to the lacquer/hardener mixture.
• Let dry for at least 4 hours / 20 °C, preferably overnight.
• Sand the surface for effect using the eccentric sander (220 - 320 grit) so that the wood stain is partially but evenly visible.
• Then, using a sanding sponge, e.g. on edges or profile areas, sand the coloured lacquer UNA-COLOR DB 45245-9010 and Precious wood stain BE 83-22481 to achieve the desired effect, sanding down to the raw wood for an extra "distressed look", or clearly visible signs of wear.
• Then remove all dust from the surfaces once again.
• Finish with FANTASTIC-CLEAR DE 4877x(gloss level) or with FANTASTIC-CLEAR-ULTRAMATT DE 48770-0 to accentuate the "used look".
