How to Prepare Surface Before Applying Wood Floor Paint
This floor paint is not suitable for use on laminate flooring.
Preparation: Previously coated, waxed, polished or oiled floors must be cleaned and fully sanded back to bare wood using appropriate floor sanding equipment before using the wood floor paint (Anti-Slip). When using on previously over coated wood that has not been sanded back properly, we cannot guarantee adhesion.
Any surface defects or open joints should be repaired using a suitable wood filler for the floor. Resinous deposits should be removed with a scraper and the surface degreased, by wiping with a clean, lint-free cloth, dampened with methylated spirits. Change the face of the cloth frequently. Allow solvent to fully evaporate before proceeding.
Mixing: Stir the paint with a drill stirrer or wooden baton at least 2” wide. Continue to stir during application to avoid thickening of the product.
Application: Apply by brush, roller or spray and work well into the surface. Avoid applying the paint to thickly to avoid delaying drying times. The second and subsequent coats can be applied as soon as the first / preceding coat is dry usually after 12-24 hours, and should be applied within 5 days.
If more than 5 days elapse, the first coat should be lightly abraded before the second coat is applied. Avoid power washing the surface for 7 days.
Wood Floor Paint is touch dry in 3 hours and hard dry in 24 hours, with an expected coverage of 12 – 14m² per litre. For thinning and cleaning, use white spirit.
