Surface
Preparation:
New or Newly Sanded Floors or Wood Surfaces:Prepare the floor according
to NWFA or NOFMA accepted standard. The final pass before application
of Absco Polyurethane Wood Floor Finish and sealer should be a #100
to #150 grit screen pad or sandpaper. Remove dust completely by sweeping,
vacuuming and wiping the floor or work surface with a lint free cloth
lightly dampened with mineral spirits. Avoid using fillers that contain
stearates or wax. The floor or work surface and room temperature should
be at least 65°F.
Previously Finished Floors or Wood Surfaces:Remove
old finish in poor condition. Screen the floor or work surface with
a#100 to #150 screen disc, #180 grit sand paper, maroon pad or similar.

REMEMBER
TO STIR THIS PRODUCT BEFORE AND DURING USE. SATIN AND SEMI-GLOSS CAN
BE SHAKEN. AFTER SHAKING, LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES.
APPLICATION:
Apply the finish with the grain of the wood. Apply in well ventilated
area by brush, roller, spray, or lambswool applicator at room temperature
and not in direct sunlight. When using a roller, work slowly to avoid
air bubbles. Screen the floor or work surface in between coats with
any of the following #150 screen disc, #180 grit sand paper, maroon
pad or similar in between coats. Remember to vacuum and tack thoroughly
after screening to remove all dust. Heavy finish application, high humidity
or lack of airflow will extend drying times. If waiting longer than
24 hours between coats, sanding is recommended.
APPLICATION
OVER STAIN: Absco Polyurethane Wood Floor Finish should adhere well
to most stain. If a stain other than Last•n•Last stain is
to be used a test for adhesion is recommended. Use Last•n•Last
Classic Wood Stain following instruction on label. Allow the stain to
dry a minimum of 24 hours under good conditions. Make sure the stain
is completely dry before applying the Finish.
DRYING
TIME:
When applied according to directions, and in thin coats, Absco Polyurethane
Wood Floor Finish should be dry to the touch in 6-8 hour. Allow minimum
of 12 hours between coats. Heavy finish application, high humidity or
lack of airflow will extend drying times. Absco Polyurethane Wood Finish
completely cures within 2 weeks.
CLEAN-UP:
Use paint thinner, mineral spirits or turpentine to clean brushes and
applicators.
MAINTENANCE:
Absco Polyurethane Wood Floor Finish never needs waxing. We recommend
Polycare Floor Cleaner as the safe and effective cleaning product for
all polyurethane coated surfaces. It has a unique soap-free, no rinse
formula which will not harm polyurethane or varnished wood surfaces.
