SURFACE PREPARATION
Natural Floors: Sand according to NOFMA or NWFA recommendations. Finish sanding with 120 or 150 grit screen. Do not use steel wool. Vacuum very thoroughly, then tack with a very lightly water dampened cloth to remove all dust. Tack with a dry microfiber mop or cloth. Apply 2 coats of sealer followed by 1-2 coats of Sampson Radiance, Sampson Durathane or any Sampson oil finish.
Stained Floors: Sand according to NOFMA or NWFA recommendations. Finish sanding with 100 grit screen (80 grit if white stain is used). Do not use steel wool. Apply stain following manufacturer’s application and dry time instructions, spot test for compatibility. Make sure stain is thoroughly cured.

SEALER APPLICATION
NOTE: Use a clean applicator for sealer and a separate clean applicator for finish.
- Stir very slowly to re-disperse any settlement in the container.

- Rinse refill applicator and remove all excess water.
- Apply Sampson Aqua Sealer using standard waterbased application procedures.

INTERCOAT ABRASION: It is not necessary to abrade Aqua Seal unless more than 24 hours have elapsed, then use a conditioning pad to scuff surface. Always vacuum tack thoroughly with a slightly water-dampened microfiber mop or cloth after abrading.
DRY TIME: Allow at least 1-2 hours between coats and 1 hour of good ventilation before closing job site. High humidity and/or low temperature conditions of below 60˚ F will cause sealer to dry slow. Allow extra dry time under these conditions.
BEFORE USE: Read all instructions and SDS. Floor must be free from wax, oil, dust or dirt.
SHELF LIFE / STABILITY: One year shelf life in unopened container.
ADDING WATER: Up to 12 ounces of water can be added per gallon of sealer. Adding water will increase the flow and level time during situations of high temperature and low humidity.
