RECOMMENDED SYSTEMS Full Sand - 2 coats Commercial Catalyzed Sealer followed by 1-2 coats StreetShoe® or Hydroline® Plus OVER STAIN Allow oil stains to dry per manufacturer’s directions or longer depending on environmental conditions. Apply 2 coats of Commercial Catalyzed Sealer followed by StreetShoe or Hydroline Plus. A test board is recommended with any stain to insure compatibility and color acceptance. SURFACE PREPARATION 1. Before sanding, clean the floor using Basic Squeaky Cleaner following label instructions. Cleaning should be done to remove contaminants from the floor before sanding. 2. Sand floors using accepted NOFMA/MFMA procedures. All old finish must be removed. A NIOSH dust mask should be worn during sanding. 3. Finish sanding with a new 120-grit screen. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL. 4. Vacuum. Tack with a clean, dry Basic microfiber mop until all dust has been removed. MIXING 2X CATALYST Always maintain adequate ventilation during all phases of the coating and drying process. 1. Use a stir stick to re-disperse any settlement. Rock container several times. 2. While stirring sealer, slowly add one 3- ounce bottle 2X Catalyst per gallon of sealer. For 5-gallon pail, slowly add one 13-ounce bottle 2X Catalyst to pail while stirring. Continue mixing for 30 seconds before transferring to pour can. 3. Never use catalyzed material that is over 24 hours old and never mix catalyzed material with uncatalyzed material. 4. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow bubbles to break. Wear proper protection as 2X Catalyst can irritate skin and eyes upon contact. SEALER APPLICATION 1. Measure moisture content of floor in several areas. We recommend using a Wagner Dual Depth L607 Moisture Meter or equivalent. 2. Rinse refill applicator in water and remove all excess. This helps to remove loose fibers. 3. Edge out about 6 inches from the baseboard or wall with a paint pad or polyester brush. Stay within 2-3 feet of the puddle line to avoid lap marks, streaking or thicker film build. Be sure to feather the edge. 4. Starting about one foot from the head wall, pour a four-inch wide line of sealer the length of the floor going with the grain. Stop about three feet from the opposite wall. As close to the wall as possible, hold the applicator at a slight angle and drag it in a "squeegee" or "plowing" type motion to move the puddle from one side of the room to the other. Overlap two inches of last pass and pull parallel passes until entire floor is coated. Brush out all turns, stops, and other applicator marks brushing in the direction of the wood grain. Feather out turns with a painters pad after the t-bar has made the turn. Add sealer to the puddle-line when needed to maintain a wet edge across the room. 5. When 2-3 feet from exiting wall, begin to taper the puddle-line down to a nickel size bead. Back out of the room by wetting small sections of the remaining floor, brushing away from you in the same direction as the grain of the wood. 6. Allow each coat a minimum of 30-45 minutes to level. 7. After sealer levels, place fans in an adjacent area to pull moisture away from the job site. When each coat has dried a minimum of 2-3 hours, re-measure moisture content. If moisture content is not equal to the first reading, allow more dry time before proceeding to the next coat. 8. If necessary, abrade between coats to remove debris, hair, drips, etc. or if the 24- hour window between coats has elapsed. Abrade with the pad and strip system using 180-240 grit sanding strips. Vacuum and tack with the Basic Microfiber Mop in between coats. 9. Apply second coat in the same manner if desired. PAINTING GAME LINES Apply any painted game lines after screening and cleaning the second coat of sealer. Refer to gymnasium technical literature for acceptable paints and painting procedures. DRY TIME Allow at least 2-3 hours between coats and 1 hour of good ventilation before closing job site OBLIGATION OF MANUFACTURER The following is made in lieu of all warranties, expressed or implied: Seller's and manufacturer's only obligation shall be to replace such quantity of the product proved to be defective.
