Directions

(Failure to follow instructions will nullify this product’s warranty)

1. Prepare Floor: This finish is not designed for application to bare wood floors. Use only on previously sealed surfaces. Use only after proper training. Scrub and Recoat: Dust mop floor and remove all chewing gum and labels. Prepare floor with Sport Prep™ (425SF) or Citrus Scrub ‘N Shine (525FR) following the product label directions.

NOTE: Test previously coated floor in an inconspicuous area before recoating to determine compatibility with existing finish. Apply no more than 2 coats in 24 hours and a maximum of 3 coats in 48 hours. See finish application instructions below.

2. Apply Finish: Stir gently before using. Apply at a rate of 800-1000 square feet per gallon (20-25 m² per liter). Use a weighted T-bar with a clean, synthetic pad. Apply thin, even coats with the grain of the wood while walking at a slow, even pace. Walking too fast may produce excessive bubbling in the finish. Allow a dry time of at least 1 hour between coats. Humid conditions require longer dry time. After the first coat has dried, apply a second coat. It may be necessary to screen the first coat if grain raising has occurred or it has dried longer than 4 hours. If so, screen the floor with a previously used 120 grit screen or maroon pad. Always vacuum and tack thoroughly after screening.

NOTE: Check expiration date. Contact Essential for batch re-certification if expiration date is exceeded. Do not pour unused finish back into original container.

3. Maintain Daily: Dust mop at least daily, or more as required, to keep floor dust and dirt free. Damp mop spills, salt residue, etc. with Sport Clean (1143SF) and a thoroughly wrung mop.
4. Maintain Weekly: If soil conditions are heavy, auto scrub weekly with red pads and a 2 ounce per gallon (16 ml per liter) dilution of Sport Clean (1143SF) or Blue Concentrate (2085FC). Refer to the Wood Floor Care Wall Chart or Manual for further details.

CAUTION: Do not use cleaning compounds other than Essential’s Sport Clean (1143SF) or Blue Concentrate (2085FC) as they will reduce product performance and longevity.

5. Restoration: Dust mop floor. Follow restoration directions for Sport Prep™ (425SF), Citrus Scrub ‘N Shine (525FR) or Gelcon™ (207FR). Refer to the Wood Floor Care Wall Chart or Manual for further details.
