DESCRIPTION
DuraSeal® Penetrating Finish is a semi-transparent stain formulated to seal, color and provide exceptional durability when used on bare wood and masonry surfaces. This rich blend of oil and resin gives hardwood floors a soft, satiny sheen. Available in colors to match any decor, DuraSeal® Penetrating Finish creates a bond with the wood that won't scratch or wear away. Can be used with or without a finish coat.
SURFACE PREPARATION
- Properly prepare surface according to NWFA approved methods.
- Use a No. 100 grit screen [80 grit for 201 White] for the final sanding cut.
- Remove all dust with a broom and/or vacuum and tack surface with a clean towel moistened with mineral spirits.
APPLICATION
1. Stir or shake the material thoroughly before and occasionally during use. Apply a test sample to a small, inconspicuous area before proceeding with the entire job. If desired, DuraSeal® Penetrating Finish #210 Neutral can be used to lighten any standard Penetrating Finish color.
2. Apply the first coat of DuraSeal® Penetrating Finish liberally with a brush, lambs wool applicator or cloth at a coverage rate of approximately 500 square feet per gallon.
3. Allow to penetrate for 5–8 minutes, then remove excess by wiping with rags or by buffing with #2 steel wool. Removal of all excess material is essential to ensuring proper dry time.
4. If desired, apply a thin second coat at a coverage rate of approximately 800 square feet per gallon. Allow to penetrate and remove excess material in the same manner as the first coat [step 3 above].
NOTE: A second coat of DuraSeal® Penetrating Finish is not recommended with 350 VOC compliant material.
5. Allow the final coat to dry at least 8 hours [for best results overnight] and apply a finish coat of your choice.
NOTE: For heavy traffic commercial applications, it is recommended that DuraSeal® Penetrating Finish be used without a finish coat, and periodically maintained with DuraSeal® Renovator Cleaner and Reconditioner.
PRECAUTION
Do not use steel wool when using DuraSeal® Penetrating Finish #201 White.
