De-nib & Finesse
A labor time formula is provided should it be necessary to perform this operation. This procedure includes the removal of small isolated dust particles (nibs) and the application of a finishing glaze.
The performance of this operation is NOT INCLUDED in the Mitchell refinish labor time.
The de-nib and finesse formula is intended to be calculated as a percentage of the base refinish hours excluding overlap and clear coat. It DOES NOT APPLY to edges, jambs, and undersides. For blended panels, the formula should be applied to the full panel refinish time. No deduction for refinish overlap should be taken.
De-nib and finesse outside surface area(s): Allow .2 per refinish hour (20%) to de-nib and finesse each surface area(s).
