particularly some of hand made terracotta, may take as many as four or five coats. Leave the final coat to dry for at least 24 hours before polishing with LTP Clear or Antique Wax or finishing with LTP Ironwax Gloss or Satin.
Wood: Ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Apply with a paint brush or cloth following the grain and allow to absorb and dry.
