Specifications and Important Details

If applying to previously finished wood, sand surface to remove old coatings before applying new finish. If sanding the entire surface is not desired, sand areas of distress that can cause flaking. This allows blending of edges.Vacuum dust and wipe with a water-dampened cloth.

 

Application

1. Stir well prior to use. Apply full strength with brush, floor pad or t-bar. Thinning may result in reduced performance.

2. Test the finish on a sample piece of wood to confirm compatibility and desired appearance. For best results apply in temps between 65F-80F with a relative humidity of 40%-60%. Avoid applying in direct sunlight Three coats are recommended for optimum product performance.

3. Apply thin, even coats taking care to prevent the finish from forming puddles. Overlap strokes and always maintain a wet edge. Finish will dry in two hours under normal conditions. High humidity or low temperature may lengthen dry time.

4. Sand lightly after first coat with very fine sandpaper (220 grit or finer).

5. Vacuum dust and wipe with a water-dampened cloth and Vermont Natural Coatings Wood Cleaner. Never use steel wool or a tack cloth.

6. Apply second coat.

7. After second coat sand only if 24 hours have passed since the previous coat was applied. Sanding, vacuuming and cleaning between coats will aid adhesion and create a smoother surface.

Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey® Floor Finish

The Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey® Floor Finish was very easy to use and was even easier to clean up. A thin coat dried in less than 2 hours and I was able to do a second coat in a day. If there are spots/marks on the floor, taking some sandpaper to it and using a brush to apply some floor finish to it makes it an easy fix. I have used this product before and will continue to use it for future maintenance of our hardwood floors.
