Abstract

Miracle Sand is a clear, biodegradable, zero volatile organic composition, environmentally safe spray product designed for an easier, safer and non-hazardous way of preparing, sanding and removing various flaws on freshly coated and/or previously coated wood, metal, masonry, drywall and plastic surface substrates without the mess and exposure to unsafe dust, sand particulate that can cause atmospheric health risks. Sanding sponges or sand paper are used with Miracle Sand in the flaw removal process; said process is as follows: Spray Miracle Sand liberally on the paint flawed surface. Wait less than a minute, then sand the paint flawed area with the sanding sponge or sand paper. When the flaw is removed, wipe off the remaining solution and sanding debris. Repeat entire process if surface is not smooth. Let surface dry, then coat with any finishing product.
