- Recommended climate conditions are 55°F-80°F/40-75%rH.
- Sand and prepare floors according to NWFA guidelines.
- WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint from wood floors, you may release lead dust. Follow local and/or federal requirements for lead removal. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and others by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
- ALWAYS PREPARE A SAMPLE OR TEST AREA TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY, APPEARANCE, AND DESIRED RESULTS.
- Shake material well before use.
- Do not thin. Do not add water.
- Do not apply at temperatures below 55°F (13°C). Make sure material is at room temperature. Always maintain adequate ventilation during all phases of the coating and drying process.
- Do not use dust from the belt/drum sander (big machine). Use fine dust from edger or multi-head sander.
- Mix EasyFill with the finest wood dust available from sanding into a smooth trowelable consistency. Fine dust will be easier to trowel, fill gaps/voids better, and will also provide better adhesion in the joints. Trowel-fill the complete floor before the final sanding. Repeat procedure on larger joints or damaged areas after the first application is fully dry.
- Completely sand all dried material from the surface during your final sanding phase.
