Application
Apply evenly to wooden surfaces at the rate of 250-450 sq ft/gal. (6.1-11.0 m2/l) until a uniform film remains on the surface. It
can be used at higher coverages on hard non-porous surfaces of up to 600 sq ft/gal (14.7 m2/l) such as tile, metal, or finished concrete. Spraying or brushing will give the smoothest surfaces. For optimum performance, maintain uniform recommended coverage. To assure the aesthetic appearance, apply product to a small test area prior to complete application. Not recommended for use on floors in high traffic areas.
