Surface Preparation

The following steps are recommended for the best results.

 

 

PREVIOUSLY FINISHED SURFACES:

  • For best results, must be clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, oil, shellac, lacquer, mildew, and polishes.
  • Waxes must be removed with a wax stripper, sanding does not remove wax.
  • Shellac must be removed with a paint stripper.
  • Previously finished floors in good condition should be cleaned with TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate) solution in water and rinsed thoroughly with clean water.
  • Do not use TSP on bare wood floors as discolouring will occur.
  • Some types of pre-finished factory-finished flooring may not be compatible with BEHR Polyurethane Floor Finish.
  • Old finishes in bad condition must be removed.
  • If sanding old finish removed all sanding dust with vacuum or cloth dampened with mineral spirits.

STAINED OR PAINTED WOOD:

  • Follow manufacturer’s directions for application of stain or paint.
  • Make sure the surface is thoroughly dry before applying Behr Floor Finish.
  • Refer to the manufacturer’s label for dry times. For best results use Behr Advanced Formula Wood Stains and finishes.

UNFINISHED SURFACE PREPARATION:

  • Sand all wood surfaces in the direction of the wood grain to desired smoothness.
  • Remove all sanding dust with a vacuum followed by wiping with a cloth dampened with water.
