DESCRIPTION: A transparent interior floor varnish in
gloss or satin providing a colourless, hard but flexible dirt-and
water repellent finish. Sweat and saliva proof. For use on timber,
stone and other floors, including cork. May also be used on
furniture, toys, banister, shelving, ceilings, windows, doors etc.
Not recommended for timber surfaces in a constantly humid
environment. For bench tops, kitchen areas, laundries, bathrooms
and heavy traffic areas it is recommended to use BIO Floor Varnish
gloss.
PREPARATION: Surface must be dry and cleaned of
greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO Thinner. Do not apply
coatings to unseasoned or wet timber. For final sanding used
150 or 180 grade sand paper. Hardwoods and eucalyptus timber, which
are rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be
degreased using BIO Thinner because these substances may mix with
the varnish and prolong its drying time. Let dry for 24 hours.
Imperfect coats may require complete stripping before applying BIO
products.
PRIMING: Baltic pine and Pinus radiata: De-grease using
BIO Thinner (even for reclaimed timber). Prime with one coat BIO
Priming Oil. Remove excess oil after 15-30 minutes. Allow drying
for 24 hours then applying BIO Floor Varnish according to
instructions.
Cork- Prime with one coat of BIO
Priming Oil as cork is very absorbent. Remove excess oil after
15-30 minutes. Let this dry for 24 hours then apply BIO Floor
Varnish according to instructions.
Tiles/slate: Degrease using Bio
Thinner.
APPLICATION: Stir thoroughly with a broad flat
stirrer before use. Can be thinned 10-20% with BIO Thinner to obtain a smooth flowing consistency. Brush
thinly and evenly, working varnish well into the grain, avoiding
bubbles. Thick coats take longer to dry and may wrinkle when dry.
Maintain a wet edge when painting. Allow 24 hours before
applying next coat. Apply the second coat only after previous coat
has thoroughly dried. Lightly sand between coats if necessary. Low
temperature and humid conditions prolong the drying time. Do not
use below 10*C and or above 80% humidity, in cold damp
conditions, when condensation, rain, dew or frost are likely to
occur or hot days, direct sunlight or hot surfaces. Provide
adequate ventilation during application and drying time. Reaches
maximum durability after 28 days. Furniture may be brought in, with
due care, after 3 days.
Tiles/Slate- BIO Floor Varnish
may be applied thinned with up to 50% Bio Thinner depending on the
absorbency of the surface.
VARIATION OF USES: Cupboard
doors- Can be finished with this product.
MAINTENANCE: After approx. 4 weeks, when the varnish
is fully cured, the varnished surface may be treated with undiluted
self-polishing BIO Timber Care Polish, applied thinly and evenly
with an absorbent cloth. For regular cleaning, use Bio Timber Care
Polish diluted at the rate of 50 ml in 5 Litres of warm water.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR VARNISHING
FLOORS
- A thin coat is better than a
thicker, soft coat.
- Subject to suitable humidity
levels, products should be applied as early as practicable after 10
a.m. to allow sufficient daytime drying.
- Make sure the previous coat has
completely dried before applying the next coat. Drying time varies
considerably with temperature and moisture levels.
- Check as follows:
- Must be dry.
- Press your thumb onto the floor.
If soft, do not re-coat.
- Press your hand for several
minutes on the floor. If tacky, do not re-coat.
- The drying time of oil based
products is prolonged by:
- High humidity and/or low
temperature during application and drying time.
- Absorption of natural terpenes,
oils, waxes or resins from the substrate, especially in exotic and
eucalyptus timbers.
- Bad ventilation and
darkness.
- Thick coats.
