So, the wait is over. Let’s get started to know all the steps of how to use liquid sander deglosser.

Step 1: Clean the surface

Before applying the deglosser, it’s critical to remove the dirt from the wall and furniture surface. You can use a clean fabric to remove dust or grains.

If the fabric doesn’t remove the dust effectively, it’s better to wash the surfaces. You can use fresh water and can also add soap into it. Hand soap and dish soap can also be effective.

Step 2: Let the walls dry

Once you have done washing the surface, let the covers air dry. Make sure the wall is fully dried, and there is no moisture on it. Otherwise, the deglosser will not work effectively.

So, my sincere advice is to please let the wall dry without being concerned about the time it takes.

Step 3: Apply liquid deglosser

Deglosser application is not a complex process. Follow these steps to apply the liquid sander effectively.

  • Firstly, take lint-free fabric.
  • Now place a small amount of liquid sander over the fabric.
  • Rub the deglosser containing fabric against the furniture surface or wall. Maybe you have to repeat this process several times to completely degloss the surfaces.

Step 4: Allow the deglosser to sit on the wall

So, have you applied the deglosser perfectly? It’s time to wait. Wait until the deglosser settles on the wall perfectly. The setting time of the liquid sander depends on the product you’re using.

For instance, it would take 10 minutes for the Klean strip to get settles. It usually takes 10-15 minutes for effective results.

Step 5: Remove the deglosser

Finally, it’s time to remove the deglosser from the wall or furniture surface. Use of lint-free cotton or fabric is the best way to remove the deglosser. However, I would suggest you read the instructions on the deglosser bottle carefully.
