Recommendation:

Do not place furniture etc. on the floor until at least 24 hours 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.If drying times are not followed, this can result in poor adhesion and reduced resistance. For each coat of floor finish, drying times will be increased. High temperature and low air humidity will reduce drying times. Low temperature and high air humidity will extend drying times.

Instructions
Products in use
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%. Make sure that the room is well-ventilated for optimal evaporation and drying time. For the final sanding to bare wood, use grit 100-120 sandpaper or sanding pad. Vacuum thoroughly and tack the floor afterwards, using a tightly-wrung water-soaked mop/cloth. 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.

  1. Sealer and a coat of Optima US floor finish should be applied undiluted, using a brush or roller. Leave the surface to dry until the next day.
  2. Sand the surface with 120-180 and vacuum clean the surface thoroughly.
  3. Apply the final coat of undiluted Optima US.
Water and coloured fluids, such as red wine and coffee, must be wiped off immediately to prevent staining.
