The following steps are recommended for best results.

PREVIOUSLY FINISHED SURFACES:

For best results, surface must be clean, dry and free of wax, grease, oil, shellac, lacquer, mildew and polishes.
Waxes must be removed with a wax stripper, sanding does not remove wax.
Shellac must be removed with a paint stripper.
Previously finished floors in good condition should be cleaned with a TSP (Tri Sodium Phosphate) solution in water and rinsed thoroughly with clean water.
Do not use TSP on bare wood floors as discoloring will occur.
Some types of pre-finished factory finished flooring may not be compatible with Behr Polyurethane Floor Finish (test in an inconspicuous area for compatibility).
Old finishes in poor condition must be removed.
If sanding old finish, remove all sanding dust with a vacuum or cloth dampened with mineral spirits.

STAINED OR PAINTED WOOD:

Follow manufacturer’s directions for application of stain or paint.
Make sure surface is thoroughly dry before applying Behr Polyurethane Floor Finish.
Refer to manufacturer’s label for dry times.
For best results use Behr Fast Drying Water-Based Wood Stains and finishes.

UNFINISHED SURFACE PREPARATION:

Sand all wood surfaces in the direction of the wood grain to desired smoothness.
Remove all sanding dust with a vacuum followed by wiping with a cloth dampened with water.
