Product: Floor Sealer Clear Gloss and Satin finish.
Type: A medium build air-drying alkyd polyurethane. The finish produced is tough, durable and resistant to oil, water and many chemicals.
Intended Use: Bare wood, hardboard, MDF, old concrete and unsealed cork. Interior floors only. See information sheet on Renovating and Refinishing Wooden Floors.
Special Features: Enhances the colour of bare wood when applied. Has a slight darkening effect on timber so test suitability before proceeding. May be applied over old existing floor coatings but test for compatibility first. Should not be applied over wax.
Preparation: The surface must be clean, smooth, dry and free from wax, dust and contaminants. Follow instructions on container. Our sheet on renovating floors contains further information. Nail holes and small cracks may be filled with Rustin’s Wood Filler. Bare wood may be dyed before coating with Rustin’s Wood Dye. Other brands of dye, stain or paints may be incompatible so a test should be carried out. Do not apply Rustins Knotting or Sanding Sealer. Although this product contains no colour, some timbers change colour significantly when coated, especially old sanded or reclaimed wood. Test first.
Application: Apply evenly and liberally using a large brush or varnish roller. Finish in the direction of the grain.
Coats: 2 liberal coats are usually sufficient on wood. Cork and more absorbent surfaces will require 3 coats.
Drying Time: Touch dry in approximately 2-4 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity.
Re-coating Time: Re-coat when the previous coat is hard dry, typically within 6-8 hours depending on the temperature and humidity.
Application Temp: Ideally 15-25ºC. Do not use below 10ºC or in conditions of high humidity.
Coverage: 13-15 sq.m per litre, 1 coat, depending on the absorbency of the surface.
Maintenance: The coating will take about 24 hours to dry fully. During this period, it is recommended that the floor is not walked on. Afterwards, the surface may be kept clean by mopping with a mild detergent solution. To restore the gloss, use Rustin’s Floor Shine. Worn areas may be recoated once cleaned and sanded, to provide a key. It is not necessary to re-coat the whole floor.
