Preparation
Compatibility: Not suitable for laminate flooring. Only use on real timber or wooden floorboards.
Previously Coated Surfaces: Floors that have been previously coated, waxed, polished, or oiled must be cleaned and fully sanded back to bare wood using professional floor sanding equipment. Adhesion cannot be guaranteed if previous coatings are not properly removed.
Surface Defects: Repair any open joints or surface defects using a suitable wood filler.
Resinous Deposits: Remove sticky resin or sap with a scraper. Degrease the area by wiping with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened with methylated spirits. Allow the solvent to evaporate fully before painting.
Cleanliness: Ensure the floor is completely free of dust and debris after sanding.
Mixing
Stirring: Use a drill stirrer or a wooden baton (at least 2 inches wide). Mix thoroughly before use.
During Use: Continue to stir periodically during application to prevent the product from thickening or settling.
Application
Method: Apply by brush, roller, or spray. Work the paint well into the wood surface.
Technique: Avoid applying the paint too thickly, as this can delay drying times.
Coats:
* First Coat (Bare Wood): Dilute by 5–10% with White Spirit to improve penetration.
* Subsequent Coats: Apply at full strength. Usually, 2 coats are sufficient.
Conditions: Do not apply when the ambient temperature is below 10°C.
