- Direction For Use
The surface has to be sanded to a professional standard, dry and free from contamination. Moisture content of the wood should be max 15%. Protect the floor from direct sunlight and keep off all underfloor heating from day before application till 24 hours after application. Final sanding of the floor should be done with sanding paper 120 grit belt or 100 grit screen. The temperature of the floor, First Coat primer and air must be between 13°C (55°F) and 25°C (77°F). Relative humidity of the room should be between 40% and 60%. Higher humidity of room extends drying time of primer thus waiting time between layers will be longer. At high temperatures and low relative humidity add 2% Arboritec “Extender”. Shake the container before use for 30-60 seconds. Allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before applying. Do not dilute the primer.
- Application
Application of the primer should be carried out along the direction of parquet strips and wood. Prevent direct sunshine on the floor during coating. If possible, do not apply the primer cross the direction of daylight. Windows/doors must be closed to prevent air flow and ventilation should be shut down for the time of application. First Coat is suitable for application with a lightweight t-bar applicator, roller or brush. Only use roller for worn-out old flooring and floors with joints Always test the product on a smaller area to ensure color and adhesion. Recommended method of application with a 10mm roller: in one layer 95-131g/m2. Apply sufficient amount of product in order to ensure good leveling of roller/ applicator marks. Ready for intermediate sanding between 30-60 minutes after application.
