Works on More Than Just Wood

This UV curable coating bonds firmly to a variety of materials:

  • Wood – Furniture, decor, and crafts

  • Plastic – Models, storage boxes, electronic casings

  • Metal – Handles, ornaments, tools

  • Marble & Stone – Countertops, decorative panels

  • Composites – Any mixed material needing a glossy protective layer


What You’ll Need

  • UV Curable Coating – The core protective layer

  • Clean Brush – For smooth and even application

  • UV Lamp or UV Flashlight – The key to curing (about 5 mins with 18W UV light)

  • Sanding Tools (Optional) – For a smoother, more even surface before coating

  • Dust-Free Workspace – To prevent particles from sticking to the wet coating


4 Easy Steps for a Perfect Finish

1. Prep the Surface

Remove dust, grease, and old coatings. Sand rough surfaces for better adhesion.

2. Apply Evenly

Use a brush or spray gun to apply a thin, even layer. Avoid over-applying to prevent drips.

3. UV Cure

Expose the coated surface to UV light. With an 18W lamp, curing takes about 5 minutes; higher power can be faster.

4. Build Up Protection

For extra durability, repeat the “apply + cure” process for multiple layers. Ensure each layer is clean before curing.


Pro Tips

  • Thin layers work best – Apply multiple thin coats for a flawless finish

  • Vertical surfaces – Start with a base layer to prevent runs, then build up

  • Transparent protection – Enhances texture and grain without altering color

  • Use masking tape – For precise application and clean edges


Creative Uses

  • Furniture Protection – Tabletops, cabinets, chairs

  • Kitchen & Bathroom Surfaces – Water and stain resistance

  • DIY & Crafts – Models, decorative pieces, handmade items

  • Outdoor Gear – Wooden planters, metal railings
