SURFACE
PREPARATION
-
Glue all
Tongue and Grove (T&G) joints using standard wood glue. Using a
damp cloth, wipe off all excess glue as you go.
- Sand any joints or
areas of the floor that are uneven. Remove all sanding dust with vacuum.
- Surface must be dry
and free from wax, grease, and dust.
PRODUCT PREPARATION
AND COLOR TESTING
STIR WELL BEFORE AND OCCASIONALLY DURING USE.
- Test stain and
polyurethane on a small area of the wood to ensure that the color
is what you desire. (Use a leftover piece of tile from your
installation as a test sample.)
APPLICATION STAINING
-
Apply
coats of polyurethane stain as per manufacturer’s
recommendations. Do not use water based stains
- Use only Minwax or
Varathane polyurethane brand stains and finishes.
- We recommend doing the
staining in one continuous step!
TOP COAT
- Brush on a THIN, EVEN
COAT of polyurethane. Be sure to maintain a wet edge.
- Let dry as per approved
manufacturer's instructions. Then between each coating use a fine
sand paper block, starting with a grit of 150 for the first coat,
250 for second coat and working up to emery cloth of 600 for every
other coat there after.
- Vacuum to remove all
dust between sanding.
- We recommend a minimum
of three top coats of polyurethane to get a good surface protection.
- You may apply more
than three coats if you want more protection for your wood surface.
IMPORTANT: Cleanup with
mineral spirits. Drying time may be slowed by excess humidity, temperatures
under 70°F (21°C), stagnant air or if the coat applied is too thick.
