Blackfriar Quick Drying Floor Varnish

Description

Blackfriar Quick Drying Floor Varnish has been specially formulated to protect floors with an attractive, long-lasting scratch-resistant finish. The varnish dries quickly so you could transform your floors in just one day. Easy to clean and perfect for all wooden flooring.

Preparation

• Ensure surface to be varnished is clean, dry, sound and free from wax, oil or any other contamination.
• If wax has been used clean the surface thoroughly with white spirit prior to sanding.
• Bare wood should be sanded to a smooth surface, always working with the grain.
• Sound, previously varnished surfaces should be lightly sanded to provide a key.
• Existing varnished surfaces which are unsound or in poor condition can be stripped back to bare timber with Blackfriar Professional Paint and Varnish Remover.

Application

• Stir Blackfriar Quick Drying Floor Varnish thoroughly prior to use.
• The product may be applied by brush or roller.
• If applying by brush, apply evenly using light strokes following the grain of the wood.
• If rollering, use a short nap mohair roller.
• For best results 3 coats are recommended on new wood and 2 coats on previously varnished surfaces.
• Prior to application of the final coat or if the overcoating time is exceeded lightly abrade with fine glass paper working with the grain and remove dust.
• The varnish will appear cloudy when wet but will quickly dry to a clear finish.
• When applying to new or bare wood, thin the first coat with up to 10% water.

Limitations

• Not suitable for use on plastic type materials, eg. imitation wood.
• If applying Blackfriar Quick Drying Floor Varnish to cork tiles, prefinished tiles or laminate flooring we recommend a trial application on an inconspicuous area of the floor.
• Once dried check adhesion by scratching firmly with a finger nail.
• New concrete should be allowed to dry for at least 6 months before varnishing.
• Do not use under cold (less than 10oC), damp or humid conditions.
• Do not wash the varnished surface for at least 3 days after application.
• If water is spilled on it during this period gently wipe off with a soft dry cloth.
