Installation Notes

Application should be performed by a flooring contractor or experienced installer in a well-ventilated space, as oil-based finishes produce flammable vapors during application and curing. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and fully sanded before applying. Follow all local and applicable safety codes regarding ventilation and solvent handling. Allow each coat to dry fully before recoating, and clean tools immediately after use with paint thinner or mineral spirits.
