Application

1) Stir and/or shake material thoroughly before use. If water popping floor prior to staining, wait until the floor is fully dried before applying Neptune.

5) After 2 coats of finish have been applied, lightly sand to knock down any grain raise. Apply final coat of your choice of Vermont Natural Coatings floor finish.
