Application conditions

The wooden surface has to be dry and free from dirt, wax and grease. The temperature of the air and surface should be +15-20 °C, and the relative humidity of the air 30-80 %. 

Preparation

Before you start, check the suitability and the colour of the stain on your floor by lacquering a small test area. The final colour depends on the wood, its hardness and original colour and also the number of coats applied. 

Staining

Stir the priming lacquer thoroughly before and occasionally during application to ensure that the colourant is well-mixed in the lacquer. Apply a thin coat using a flotex spreader in the direction of the grain. Plan work carefully to ensure that the stain can be applied on one uniform surface without interruption. Floor boards can be treated board by board using a brush. The second coat can be applied after 3-4 hours.

Overcoating

Finish with Parquet-Ace Floor Lacquer 3-4 hours after application of the second coat.

Surface treatment

See the product data sheet of Parquet-Ace Floor Lacquer, directions of use. Stained surface has always to be treated with a finishing lacquer.
