Surface Preparation

• For refinishing, remove all wax or cleaner build-up with a wax stripper or degreaser prior to sanding.
• Sand all surfaces in the direction of the wood grain to desired smoothness
• DO NOT USE steel wool. 
• Remove all dust from sanded surfaces and clean with a tack cloth.

Application

• Do not shake or thin. 
• Do not apply in direct sunlight or in temperatures below 55°F (10°C) or above 90°F (32°C).
• Stir thoroughly prior to and during use.
• If wood stain color is desired, apply BEHR® Wood Stain. Follow all label instructions.
• Using a high-quality nylon/polyester bristle brush, dip approximately an inch into the can, gently tapping it against the inside to remove any excess.
• Apply a thin, even coat following the direction of the grain making sure to maintain a wet edge.
• To minimize the brush marks and bubbles after staining application, tip off the surface by holding the brush at a 45-degree angle and lightly run the bristles over the entire length of the wood.
• Floor Application: use a synthetic pad applicator or bristle brush and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
• For maximum durability, 3 coats are required.
• Do not puddle, over-brush or overlap finishes.
• Sand lightly between coats with fine sandpaper.
• Remove all dust prior to applying additional coats.
