Optima Instructions
It is important that both wood and floor finish have a temperature of min. 59°F (preferably around 68°F) and air humidity of approx. 50%. The room must be well-ventilated for optimal evaporation and drying time. For the final sanding to bare wood, use grit 100-120 sandpaper. Vacuum thoroughly and tack the floor. The floor must be completely dry before sealing or finishing. When sealing, use WOCA Sealers for newly sanded wood to reduce side bonding.
Always remember to test on a less visible spot to check the compatibility of the surface with the product.
- Apply WOCA Sealer if not using a stain. Let dry completely per product instructions.
- Using a roller, apply 1 coat of undiluted Optima floor finish. Leave the surface to dry until the next day.
- Sand the surface with 120-180 grit sandpaper and vacuum clean the surface thoroughly.
- Apply the final coat of undiluted Optima.
After the final coat the floor can be used with caution after 4-6 hours at 68°F
Do not place furniture etc. on the floor until at least 3 days after the final coat of floor finish. The floor will be ready for normal use after approx. 5-7 days, after which rugs etc. can be placed on the floor.
Fully hard: 7 days at 68°F
