How do I refinish old wood floors?
To refinish floors not previously coated with
Ultradec 8331, strip the old finish with remover or by sanding and proceed as
above. Be sure to use wax-free removers and to clean up well with strong
detergents by washing and thoroughly rinsing at least twice. All old finish must
be removed to ensure proper adhesion. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly before
applying Ultradec 8331 Urethane. (Back to Top)
Where do I refinish floors
previously coated with Ultradec 8331?
First clean thoroughly and sand lightly.
Vacuum and wipe with tack cloth moistened with Xylene, Toluene, or MEK. Apply 1
to 2 coats of Ultradec 8331 Urethane at an average spread rate of 300 square
feet per gallon. Allow to cure overnight. (Back to Top)
What stains should I use with Ultradec
urethanes?
When using Ultradec 8331 Urethane, a
quick-drying stain, such as an alcohol base or a quick-dry lacquer is strongly
recommended. Lacquer stain should be allowed to dry at least overnight. If an
oil-base stain is used, it should be allowed to dry for a minimum of 48 hours,
although 72 is recommended, before finish is applied, to prevent any capillary
oil movement. Any remaining surface oil will prevent proper adhesion of the
Urethane finish. (For white and pastel oil-base stains, allow 72 to 96 hours dry
time, and use Ultradec 8339 Aliphatic (Non-Yellowing) Moisture Cure Urethane.)

What other suggestions do you have
for installing Ultradec 8331?
If room humidifiers are available, turn them
on one hour after application. If floor surface will be subjected to heavy
traffic shortly after application, damp mop with clean water and a clean mop
when the finish has cured enough to walk on. If 24 hours or more elapse between
application of coats, screen the finish lightly and tack with Xylene before
applying the next coat to ensure proper adhesion between coats. (Back to Top)
How do I maintain my Ultradec floors?
For residential applications, add 1 cup
white vinegar to a bucket of clean warm water. For commercial applications, a
mild liquid detergent can be used. Sweep and then damp mop using a sponge mop.
Never allow water to puddle on hardwood floors. (Back to Top)
