APPLICATION

• The surface must be professionally sanded. The floor must
  be dry and free of any old coatings, oil, grease, wax, silicone,
  sanding dust and other impurities.
• The optimal processing conditions are room temperature +15°C
  to + 25°C, floor temperature +15°C to +22°C, rel. humidity 40%
  to 75%, material temperature +18°C to + 25°C, max. wood
  moisture 12%, sufficiently ventilate working rooms.
• In order to prevent parquet damage, the room temperature
  should be set to the annual average expected for the use of the
  product.
• To reduce the risk of excessive swelling, we recommend
  applying a maximum of 2 roll applications per day.
• Transfer material to a LOBA varnish bucket before applying.
• Shake the contents well.
• Observe general and, if necessary, product-specific occupational
  health and safety regulations. Further information can be found in the GISCODE-
  related operating instructions which are available under www.wingis-online.de.
• This product is part of the LOBA and Wakol “Connected Systems”. The
  approved combinations with Wakol parquet adhesives may be found in the
  “Connected Systems” Matrix: www.loba.de/connected-systems

THINNER / MIXING:

• The product is ready for use and must not be reduced!

APPLICATION TOOL / APPLICATION RATE:

• LOBA roller Deluxe 120 and LOBA roller Microfaser 100-120 /
  100-120 ml(g)/m² = 8-10 m²/l(kg)

INTERMEDIATE SANDING:

• Able to recoat without intermediate sanding within the first 24
  hours. After this time, an intermediate sanding is necessary.
• An intermediate sanding before the last application will improve
  the optical appearence of the surface.
• Use LOBASAND perforated pad P120 or finer, alternatively Sanding
  Net P120 or finer.
• Carefully remove dust before overcoating.

DRYING TIME:

• Can be carefully walked on, intermediate sanding can be
  performed and can be varnished over after no less than 4 hours.
• Light use after 24 hours.
• Full use and covering possible after 5 days.
• The floor can be covered earlier by using LOBA Cover 400, for
  details see the TI for the product.
• Drying times are valid for +20°C and 50% relative humidity.

We RECOMMEND USING A PRIMER:

To minimise side bonding and to seal off wood constituents, e.g.
in exotic timber.

• EasyPrime
• VivaPrime
• 2K Intensive
• PrimaSeal Plus (contains solvent)

Additives

• The range of application, properties and appearance can be
  extended by combining with LOBA additives.
• Please refer to the respective technical information of the
  additives for possible combinations, detailed application information, and
  drying times.

USE ON PARQUET AND HARDWOOD FLOORS:

• Prepare and prime the substrate properly.
• Allow the primer to dry as specified.
• Apply by roller.
• Dry.
• Intermediate sanding.
• Apply second coating layer by roller.

USE ON CORK:

Seal only after the adhesive has set adequately.

Untreated natural cork:

• Apply three layers of coating by roller.
• Allow the first layer to dry overnight (reduces the risk of granule swelling).
• Intermediate sanding before the final application.

Not recommended for recoating of old coverings or pre-finished cork, therefore
the product LOBA 2K Duo can be used, see TI for details.

Colouring Tip

• To achieve a brightening/whitening effect on light-coloured
  substrates, we recommend adding LOBA Whitener according to the technical
  information of the product.
• In order to minimise colour reactions with tannins, the first
  layer of the paint must be applied to untreated cork in the delivery form
  without colour additive.
• Subsequent drying overnight is necessary.
• To achieve a colour intensification on natural cork and brownish
  and reddish coloured cork floors, we recommend adding LOBA Amberizer according
  to the technical information of the product.
