PRODUCT APPLICATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING PROJECT
IMPORTANT: All flooring should be tested for adhesion before coating the entire floor. Clean a small 3”x3”, inconspicuous area, let dry. Apply base coat over area and allow to dry for 12 hours. Take a utility knife and make an X in the coating down to the flooring. Apply a 4” piece of duct tape over the X and press firmly. Remove the tape with one quick pull. If more than 10% of the coating comes off, the floor will need to be sanded with 60-80 grit sandpaper before coating the entire floor.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Rinse or sweep away any dirt and dust. Clean the entire floor with a cleaner degreaser, such as Original Krud Kutter® Cleaner Degreaser, or stain remover. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely. For any areas where caulk is present, caulk needs to be removed before applying coating. For waxed floors, wax needs to be removed before applying coating.
NOTE: Failure to follow this preparation method may result in poor adhesion and possible coating failure.
APPLICATION
Rust-Oleum HOME Base Coat is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir thoroughly prior to use. If using more than one can of Base Coat, intermix cans together for color uniformity. Apply when air, material, and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and relative humidity is below 85%. Use a high-quality bristle brush or edger to trim the perimeter and hard-to-reach areas. Use a long-handled roller and a high-quality, 3/8” (Base Coat) and 1/4" (Top Coat) nap roller cover to apply an even coat onto the surface.
STEP 1: Apply Floor Base Coat in 4’x4’ sections and maintain a wet edge while rolling. Do not let product puddle. Only one coat is recommended, wait 6 hours before applying any necessary touch-ups. NOTE: White requires two coats, wait 6 hours between coats. Let touched-up areas dry for 1-2 hours (dry to touch) and then Top Coat can be applied.
OPTIONAL: Once base coat is completely dry, additional Rust-Oleum HOME coatings, such as Creative Accents, can be applied to create a designer look. Be sure to follow coating instructions and ensure the surface has thoroughly dried and is dust-free before applying Top Coat (Step 2).
STEP 2: Apply Rust-Oleum HOME Top Coat in 4’x4’ sections and maintain a wet edge while rolling. Avoid applying too thick and do not let product puddle. Only one coat is recommended. If a second coat is desired for additional durability or uniformity, wait until the first coat is dry to touch (1-2 hours) before applying, but must apply within 24 hours. For vertical application, apply Top Coat in two thin coats. Top Coat must be abraded if recoating after 24 hours. After full system cure of 7 days, if additional coats of Base Coat and Top Coat are desired, simply clean the coated floor, reapply the Base Coat and then reapply the Top Coat.
IMPORTANT: Rust-Oleum HOME Base Coat and Top Coat are required for the project.
