Rust-oleum 989731 Varathane Lambswool Applicator Refill

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 989731 is a lambswool applicator refill designed for applying oil-based stains and finishes to hardwood floors. At 10 inches wide, it delivers smooth, even coverage with minimal lap marks — a key advantage when working with floor polyurethane products that demand consistent film build across large surface areas. The lambswool pad holds finish well, reducing the need for frequent reloading during application. Flooring contractors and experienced DIYers use this refill to maintain applicator performance without replacing the full assembly.

This refill is suited for residential and light commercial hardwood floor finishing projects. It is designed to work with Varathane floor polyurethane, oil-based stains, and other Varathane refinishing products. Typical use cases include new floor finishing, between-coat application, and full refinishing jobs where an oil-based product is specified. The 10-inch pad width is well matched to standard floorboards and strip flooring layouts.

Installation Notes

Flooring contractors or experienced trade professionals typically install and replace applicator refills as part of standard floor finishing workflow. Before beginning any finish application, ensure the floor surface is clean, dry, and properly sanded or scuffed per the finish manufacturer instructions. Replace the lambswool pad when it shows signs of matting, contamination, or uneven finish transfer. Dispose of oil-saturated applicator pads according to local fire safety and waste disposal regulations, as oil-based finishes can present a spontaneous combustion risk if improperly stored.
