Description
 Old Masters Gel Polyurethane is an oil-based gelled clear finish that produces a 
soft, hand-rubbed sheen on wood. Its thick formula enables multiple hand-applied 
coats without drips or brush marks. This product will provide a clear protective 
finish for a multitude of interior wood surfaces. Not recommended for floors.
 Surface Preparation
 All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dirt, wax, grease, glue and other 
contaminants or adhesion will be affected. Wood surfaces must be sanded smooth 
and sanding dust removed. Wood that has been stained or finished should dry 
completely (24 hours) before application of Gel Polyurethane.
 WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.  
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, 
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.  PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear 
a NIOSH approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum 
and a wet mop.  Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting 
the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
 Application
 Stir thoroughly before and during application. Do not apply in direct sunlight or 
areas of extreme air movement.
 1. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel and apply a liberal amount to an entire 
side or section of your project.
 2. Remove excess polyurethane quickly with a clean cloth, then buff lightly and 
briskly with another clean cloth, working in the direction of the grain until the 
surface is smooth with a slight wet look.
 3. Continue to apply and buff until entire project is coated.
 4. Gel Polyurethane will dry to touch in 5 to 6 hours. Allow at least 6 hours 
between coats.
 5. Reapply. Two to three coats are recommended; however, additional coats 
will enhance build and provide greater protection. Sanding between coats is 
not necessary.
 Coverage
 Approximately 700 to 750 square feet per gallon. Coverage will vary significantly 
depending on application method and condition of wood.
 Drying Time
 Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 60° and 90°F and humidity 
is between 30% and 70%. At 50% relative humidity and 70°F, Gel Polyurethane 
will dry to touch in 5 to 6 hours. In case of high humidity, overnight drying may be 
necessary. Under ideal drying conditions, allow 6 hours before recoating. Drying 
time will be affected by temperature, humidity and film thickness. Protect product 
from freezing prior to and during application.
