Do you remember putting white glue in the palms of your hands when you were a kid?

You would let it dry then peel it off after a time. We remember that like it was yesterday. The fine folks at Trade Secret of Canada have in some sense reinvented this bit of yesterday entertainment in the form of the invisible glove. Its not "white glue", we just used that as a reference so that you might better understand what the product is about.

If you're tired of endlessly scrubbing your fingernails and hands to remove paint, grease and grime, then get the Trade Secret Invisible Work Glove. Its the grown-up solution to glove protection without the glove. Use before you start working to form an invisible protective barrier around hands and fingernails. It’s especially useful after painting and staining or any other dirty or greasy job. Simply wash off the glove with soap and water when you are finished. This non-drying formulation moisturizes skin keeping hands soft and clean and gives you the "hands-on" feel of gloves right out of the bottle.

Product Usage Helpful Hints

Jen Foam Brush
Saman clear finish is part of the new generation of products developed by our researchers. It is completely safe for both user and environment. The product has a milky appearance in the container, but once dry, it leaves a tough, transparent finish that does not yellow.

Recommended uses:
A tough interior finish, specially recommended for furniture, doors, cupboards, wainscoting, and so on. This product is not recommended for outdoor surfaces. No flammable or toxic solvent vapors to worry about.

Preparing surfaces:
Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free of dust, grease, oil, wax, etc. If sanding is needed, use fine sanding paper.

Staining Bare Wood:
For a colored stain, apply Saman water-based wood stain. Refer to instructions on container or in our brochure #0321 for suitable methods.
 

Use:
For best results, do not apply in direct sunlight, or at temperatures below 60F/15 C. DO NOT SHAKE. This creates air bubbles, which may alter the finish on your piece. If product has been shaken, wait five minutes for bubbles to disappear. DO NOT DILUTE. For an even sheen, mix thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid forming thick patches. Do not give too many brush strokes, or overlap. Always proceed from the wet edge. Use nylon or nylon and polyester brush or a quality cloth. Sand lightly between coats with very fine paper and remove dust with a damp clean cloth. Dry completely between coats (1-2 hours). At least two coats are recommended.
