.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
Floors – Floors should be properly sanded and free of
dust, dirt or other contaminants. Use a brush or floor finish
applicator and apply in the direction of the grain. Apply the
sealer on two or three board widths at a time, being sure
to keep a wet edge. Avoid over-applying or over-brushing.
Let dry for 45 minutes before sanding with #120 to #150
grit or finer sandpaper. Apply a second coat of sealer if
desired or an appropriate floor finish.
Pre-Stain Conditioner – SealCoat can be used to prevent
uneven stain penetration over soft woods such as pine.
Thin the product by mixing equal parts, by volume, of
denatured alcohol and SealCoat. Apply with a brush or
wipe on with a lint-free cloth, working with the grain. Do
not over apply or recoat. After 15 minutes, lightly rub the
surface with a fine synthetic abrasion pad.
Bond Coat – SealCoat may be applied to an existing finish
to protect it from strong solvent-based coatings such as
lacquers. It can be used to ensure the adhesion of oil-
based polyurethane, water-based polyurethane, lacquer
and other clear finishes. Two full coats are required.
TINTING
Bulls-Eye SealCoat may be tinted with up to 2 ounces of
universal colorant per gallon. SealCoat may also be tinted
with alcohol-based stains or aniline dyes. Note that alcohol
stains will dilute the viscosity. If using powdered dyes,
shake to completely disperse the dye and let the container
sit to remove bubbles.
DRY TIME
Warmer temperatures will accelerate and colder
temperatures will prolong the dry time of this product. On
bare wood, the first coat will dry to the touch in 5-10
minutes and can be sanded or recoated in 20-30 minutes.
Subsequent coats or coats applied over existing finishes
will dry to the touch in 10-15 minutes and can be sanded
or recoated in 1 hour. Lower temperatures, higher
humidity, and the addition of tint will prolong dry and cure
time. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. SealCoat is
not recommended for use in areas where surface heat
exceeds 160°F (71°C).
