SEAL!
Once you have a dry stained moulding, you need to seal it with a durable UV coating that will
protect it and make it a quality piece for your customers. UV coatings are usually 100% solids
(contain no water) and require a UV curing oven, that will instantly dry the piece before it comes
out. After this step you will need to denib the wood piece to make it a smooth surface (the coating
raises the wood fibers on the first pass when it is absorbed).
TOP COAT!
Youre almost done - the final step in achieving a perfectly finished moulding is the top coat. Just
run the wood piece again through the cycle of denibbing, coating, and drying. Voila! If you have
used a UV coating, your piece is ready for stacking!

It is important that the contour of the in-feed and out-feed matrixes be matched to the
contour of the work piece, allowing approximately 1/8 of an inch space for air to flow around
the moulding.
