Sure Shine Application Instructions

(Printer Friendly Version Here)

Sure Shine Floor Finish is specifically designed for finishing and protecting wood floors and other wood surfaces where a clear, durable, scuff-resistant finish is desired. Its waterborne formulation is non-flammable, has little odor and resists yellowing. Once cured, Sure Shine is more durable than solvent-based floor finishes. Sure Shine's hard finish resists scuffing and abrasion and prevents discolorations from water and most household chemicals and cleaners. Sure Shine Floor Finish may be applied over previously stained or finished floors. However, before coating an entire floor, test the performance of Sure Shine in a small, inconspicuous area such as a closet.

Application Tips

• If an oil-based wiping stain has been applied to the floor, allow it to dry for at least two weeks to a month. Before applying Sure Shine give the floor a light cleaning with soap or water or floor cleaner.
• Stir well before use. Try to avoid shaking the container since entrapped air bubbles are difficult to brush out.
• Apply multiple coats for a deeper looking finish.

Application Instructions

Preparation: Wood surfaces should be dry and cleaned of all oils, grease, wax, dirt and dust. For best results wipe the entire area to be finished with a clean rag prior to application.

Recommended Applicators: Use a synthetic bristle brush, foam brush or applicator pad to apply thin coats of Sure Shine. Do not use a roller or other types of applicators that apply thick coats!
Use a paint paddle to gently stir Sure Shine before using. Do not shake container or agitate as this creates foam that may result in air bubbles within the finish. Sure Shine is made to be used "as is." Do not dilute Sure Shine with water or any other solvent. Do not tint.

Stir well before and during use. Apply thin coats of Sure Shine using smooth, even strokes in the same direction as the wood grain. Do one or two boards at a time ending at wood joints, walls or doorways to prevent lap marks.

After applying the first coat, allow it to dry to the touch (typically one to two hours) then lightly sand smooth using fine (180 grit or higher) sandpaper. Do not allow sanding procedure to build up excessive heat. We do not recommend sanding between subsequent coats. Although a minimum of three coats is recommended for new or worn wood floors, additional coats will add luster and depth to the finish.

Cleanup: Wash hands and tools with soap and warm water as soon as possible after use.

Drying Time: Although Sure Shine dries to the touch in approximately one to two hours, you should let the surface dry for about 12 hours before allowing light traffic. Avoid placing rugs or moving furniture over the finish for approximately one week. Sure Shine will reach full cure hardness within one to two weeks.

Estimated Coverage: One gallon of Sure Shine typically covers between 600 to 800 square feet. First coat coverage may be less on older, porous wood floors.
