Applying the Finish:

One of the last but most satisfying steps in refinishing a wood countertop is applying the finish. The EZ-Do finish is super easy to apply and there is no need to worry about lap marks.  We applied the finish to the wood in 4 foot by 4 foot areas using a high quality brush and then wiped off the finish in circular motion using a clean rag. The beauty of using a finish like this is that it really is fool proof.  Its easy to apply, easy to use to repair sections and because you wipe it off with a rag there is no threat of unsightly lap marks.

Additional Finish Coats:

Allow the finish to dry per the manufacturer recommendations, sand with 400 grit, tack the surface and re- apply the finish.  several coats can be built up to provide a thicker coat of protection.

Benefits of using EZ-DO:   

  • Makes repairs and fabrication a fool-proof operation
  • Easy to apply and fast drying
  • Water and alcohol resistant
  • Non-toxic, lead free
  • Self leveling, no runs no lap marks
