Surface Prepartion:

Preparation: Prepare a test area to check colour and application. Prepare the surface by filling nail holes and imperfections with a water based putty in a colour close to the stain. Allow to dry. Sand floor per AS 4786.2-2005 standard to produce a defect and scratch free surface. Finish sanding with 120-180 screen back paper fitted to a rotary sanding machine. Ensure floor is defect and scratch free before applying the stain. Scratches and imperfections may be highlighted by the stain.

Mixing: Stir thoroughly before use.

Tools: Brush, rag, roller or applicator – wipe on and leave or wipe on wipe off.

Application:

1. Reduce and mix enough stain for the entire project before starting. Work from one corner as you would when coating a room. Apply to strip flooring along the direction of the grain. Only cut in a small distance in front of your roller or pad applicator. DO NOT pour or pool stain on the floor. Even application of the stain is essential to ensure a uniform even colour.
2. Allow the stain to dry before applying coatings (see recoat time).
3. Ensure adequate coating is applied to seal AQUAPRO 2120 Stain to reduce the risk of sanding through the sealer coat. If this happens, it is possible to reapply the stain to these areas to re-colour the exposed timber.
