APPLYING FLOOR FINISH

Applying first coat of seal:

• Pour floor finish into lined mop bucket and place a clean, non-rusty wringer into the
bucket
• Immerse clean mop into the finish
• Wring out mop to eliminate dripping

• Apply a thin coat of finish to the floor
• Apply floor finish by running floor finish applicator mop parallel to and next to the
baseboard
• Do not apply in vertical portions of baseboards and walls
• Work in a "U" shape around baseboards and work from outward inward
• Use additional finish, as needed, per manufacturer instructions and cover the entire floor
• Try to avoid splashing the floor finish
• Before applying another coat, allow finish to dry completely.

Applying second coat of seal:

• Repeat the above instructions
• You may wish to avoid building up edges by keeping a few inches away from the
baseboards
• Apply a thin coat of finish
• The second application should be made using a "figure 8" pattern, which reduces back
fatigue
• Allow second coat to dry completely.

Applying additional coats:

• Repeat the above instructions using the same floor finish for the next two coats and all
subsequent ones
• More coats allows more protection for the floor and a better appearance
• Apply at least two coats of finish over the seal, if a high-speed burnishing program is
used
• Allow floor to dry completely before opening to traffic.
