How to Use PIGMENTA for Optimal Results

Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure a successful application of PIGMENTA on your wooden surfaces.

Surface Preparation

1. Thorough Sanding

Begin by thoroughly sanding the substrate to eliminate dust particles. This step provides a clean canvas for PIGMENTA to adhere effectively.

2. Wood Humidity Check

Opt for well-seasoned wood with a maximum humidity level of 12%. This ensures the wood is appropriately dried and ready for the topcoat application.

3. Surface Cleaning

Clean the surfaces diligently, removing grease, wax, or resin traces. A clean surface allows PIGMENTA to bond seamlessly with the wood.

For hardwoods, perform sanding using 180-grit paper. This specific grit ensures an optimal surface texture, enhancing the topcoat's adherence.

Tip: Prioritize precision during surface preparation to create an ideal foundation for PIGMENTA application.

Application Process

1. Method - Conventional Spray

Utilize conventional spray methods for the application of PIGMENTA. This method ensures an even distribution of the topcoat across the wooden surface.

2. Nozzle Recommendation

Opt for a 2-2.5 mm nozzle with 3-4 airbars. This specific nozzle size and airbar setting contribute to a controlled and effective spray application.

3. Dilution Adjustment

Adjust the concentration of PIGMENTA as needed by incorporating 5-10% water. This flexibility allows you to achieve the desired consistency for optimal application.

4. Versatility - Spray and Brush

PIGMENTA is versatile, accommodating both spray and brush applications. Choose the method that aligns with your preferences and project requirements.
