DESCRIPTION: Floor Varnish is a natural alternative to PU
finishes. It is made from renewable materials like plant oils and
resins, which are well known to the trade. A natural and non toxic
ingredient makes it also gentle to the climate and resources. It is
a transparent interior floor varnish in gloss or satin providing a
colourless, hard but flexible dirt-and water repellent finishes.
Sweat and saliva proof. For use on timber, stone and other floors.
May also be used on furniture, toys, banister, shelving, ceilings,
windows, doors etc. Not recommend for timber surfaces in a
constantly humid environment. For bench tops, kitchen areas,
laundries, bathrooms and heavy traffic areas use only 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. Do not apply over acrylic, PUR or epoxy based
coatings.
PRIMING: Baltic pine and Pinus radiata: 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 coats of BIO Priming Oil as cork is very
absorbent. Remove excess oil after 15-30 minutes. Let each coat dry
for 24 hours then apply BIO Floor Varnish according to

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

Tiles/slate: Degrease using Bio Thinner.
APPLICATION: Stir thoroughly with a broad flat
stirrer before use. Thin 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.

50% Bio Thinner depending on the absorbency of the surface
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.
Apply with a damp, not a wet cloth

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.
