The surface has to be sanded to a professional standard, dry and free from contamination. 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, hardener Genuine Naked finish 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 finish thus waiting time between layers. Mix the content in the can with 10% hardener , shake it for 1 minute and let it start to react for 10 minutes. Do not dilute the finish!. At high temperatures and low relative humidity you may add 2% Arboritec “Extender”. The mixture must be used within 4 hours. Mix Genuine Naked and hardener only one time and not more than you need to apply for one coat. NOTE! Make sure solvent-based stains and sealers- if used to enhance color of wood- are fully cured prior to over-coating with Genuine Naked.
- Application
Application of the finish should be carried out along the direction of parquet strips and wood. If possible, do not apply the finish 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. If possible prevent direct sunshine on the floor during coating. Genuine Naked is suitable for application with a lightweight t-bar applicator, roller or brush. Always test the product on a smaller area to ensure color and adhesion. For best results on bare, unstained wood floor, always use Genuine Naked finish with Arboritec primers, following label instructions. Recommended method of application with a 10mm roller: 2 layers of XP on a Arboritec sealer. Apply sufficient amount of product in order to ensure good leveling of roller/ applicator marks. Sanding between layers is always possible
