Product use -Natural Finish Wood Floor Varnish is a hard wearing and long lasting varnish which is ideal for use on soft or hard wood flooring. Keeping the natural feel and look of the timber Natural Finish Floor Varnish uses a non-yellowing and quick drying formula. 

Preparation -Sand the floor if required and remove all previous finishes. Ensure the surface is clean, dry and dust free. If you want to colour the wood you can apply Liberon Floor Dye to the timber before varnishing. Alternatively Liberon Floor Dye may be added to the varnish to create unique colour tones. Add one 250 ml Liberon Floor Dye to one 2.5 L tin of Natural Finish Floor Varnish. Liberon Wood Floor Dye is available in a range of wood shades.  

Application -Shake / stir well before use. Apply a reasonable coat of varnish evenly using a paint brush or short hair roller and allow to dry for a minimum of 2 hours before applying further coats. We recommend a minimum of 3 coats are applied, sanding lightly between coats if required. More coats may be required for heavy traffic areas. Allow the final coat of varnish a minimum of 24 hours drying time before using the floor.  

Important -Always test product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour compatibility and end result. Product may slightly darken some woods. 

Cleaning and maintenance -Wipe any spills immediately. For general maintenance wipe over with a damp mop or cloth using a mild detergent if required. If the surface shows signs of wear re-apply a coat of varnish or coat with Liberon Wood Floor Reviver.  

Precautions

• Allow all wood dyes to dry for a minimum of 8 hours before applying Natural Finish Floor Varnish.
• Care must be taken on the application of the first coat of Natural Finish Floor Varnish when being used over Liberon Wood Floor Dye. Keep brush strokes to a minimum as over brushing may lift out the colour.
• The varnish may raise the grain on some hard woods.
• Do not exceed a 10% dilution of Natural Finish Floor Varnish with Liberon Wood Floor Dye (250 ml Dye to 2.5 L Varnish).
• Natural Finish Floor Varnish is not suitable for applying over an oil based sealer.
• For a more durable finish we recommend Liberon Wood Floor Dye is only added to the varnish for the first coat and that subsequent coats are varnish only
• Do not mix with solvent based dyes.
