Key Features
Product Ref: 92990
The Cajon kit should be sanded and all glue residues should be removed. Place the cajon on its feet. The bottom of the cajon does not necessarily need to be painted. But if you want to paint it, treat all other sides first.
Fill a small quantity of the Sela Cajon Finish into a flat bowl or a large cup. Use the special brush and apply a little lacquer evenly in the direction of the wood grain. The finish should not be poured directly from the bottle onto the wood because strips may arise. For priming, not much paint is needed. Dose the amount so that there are no drips.
Tip: Proper use of the brush
Move the brush evenly from one edge to the other without lifting. In that way you will avoid unsightly streaks on the surface.
After priming wash out the brush with warm water so that it can be used for the next layer again.
The finish should dry now for at least 8 hours.
When it has properly dried, you can sand the rough surfaces with the sanding sponge from the kit or with regular sanding paper (180"-220" grit).
After that dust off the surfaces using a clean broom, a fine brush or a dry cloth.
The Cajon can now be provided with the second layer of finish. Make sure to work quickly and evenly. Do not paint more than once over one spot, if possible. Otherwise the first layer may come off again.
When all visible sides of the cajon are finished and dried, you can work on the bottom. Place the cajon upside down and remove the rubber feet. They should not be painted. Now repeat steps 2 through 8 on the bottom.
