• Always clean meticulously with a vacuum cleaner after each sanding, including any dust traps (skirting, radiators, pipes, window sills, etc).
• Sand floor back to bare wood using an appropriate system and abrasive grades, depending on the condition of surface and wood species.
• Cracks of 2 mm wide or less should be filled with Lianfloor and sanding resumed with 80 or 100 grit paper depending on the last grit used.
• Finish with finishing grade up to grit No. 120 or 150 depending on the wood species and thickness of wear layer

New Wood Surfaces

• Degrease surface with denatured alcohol, acetone or similar solvent based product.

Previously Treated surfaces (Oiled And In Good Condition)

• Clean floor meticulously with Soapclean. Repeat procedure if required.
• Sand floor with a fine grade abrasive (grit No 150 to 200).
• Clean meticulously with a vacuum cleaner.

Previously Treated surfaces (Oiled And In Poor Condition or Polished)

• Previously oiled or polished surfaces should be dry stripped with DSP 800.
• If, after stripping with DSP 800, the surface is in good condition and does not require sanding, neutralise with denatured alcohol, acetone, white (mineral) spirit or similar solvent based product before applying finish.
• If sanding is required, proceed as instructed in “General Directions”.

Previously Treated surfaces (Paint, Stain, Varnish etc)
