Surface Prepartion:
Preparation: Preparing the floor to a professional standard is essential to achieve the best results. Fill all nail holes with a water based putty, allow to dry. Sand uncoated floor with 120-150 grade sandpaper or screenback on a flexible pad to ensure floor is uniformly dull with no sanding scratches, nibs or fur. Vacuum thoroughly. Take care to avoid scratching the surface.
Mixing: Stir thoroughly before use.
Tools: Lint free 6mm mohair or microfibre roller or weighted applicator bar and good quality brush.
Application:
- Apply the first coat of NATUROIL Sports. This will penetrate into the timber and provide a sound base for the following coats. If line marking allow NATUROIL Sports to dry for a minimum of 24 hours. As an alternative FASTASEAL 3030 may be used for the first coat if a fast drying sealer is required. Sand with a 150-180 screen back to remove the timber grain rise.
- Line marking can be set out and applied after the first or second coat. Check with the line marker or test the combination of the NATUROIL Sports and the chosen line marking paint for compatibility and drying.
- Apply a second coat of NATUROIL Sports. Allow to dry for 16 hours, sanding is not essential but for maximum inter-coat adhesion it is recommended. For floors allowed to dry longer than 24 hours, NATUROIL Sports will need to be sanded with a 150-180 grit screen.
- Apply a third coat of NATUROIL Sports gloss.
