Application Directions

• Preparation Warning
  Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local health authority.
• APPLICATION OVERVIEW
  STEP 3: APPLY MINWAX® SUPER FAST-DRYING POLYURETHANE FOR FLOORS– Before use, thoroughly stir Minwax Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors to rotate the product from the bottom to the top of the can. You will not need to stir again if the project will be completed in 1 day.– Apply a thin coat using a lambswool or synthetic-pad applicator, or a natural bristle brush. Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.– Allow the finish to dry 6-8 hours, but less than 10 hours. If this timing is followed, no sanding between coats is needed! But if you have let the finish dry for more than 10 hours, sand the finish lightly with 220-grit sandpaper. Allow 8 hours dry time before you sand.– Apply a second coat following the steps above.If you are applying Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors to bare wood, apply a third coat, following the steps above. If this is a “screen and recoat”, or if you are applying Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors over stain, only 2 coats are required.Note: Sanding is not required between coats, but for maximum smoothness, you can choose to sand before the final coat, using 220-grit sandpaper or equivalent. Allow 6-8 hours dry time before you sand. Do not sand if the film is still tacky. The product appears dark in the can, but dries clear. Floor will bear light foot traffic in 24 hours. Avoid heavy traffic, and do not install rugs or clean floors for 7 days. When replacing furniture, do not slide. If Minwax® Sanding Sealer is used prior to Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors, apply following the label directions.
