How to apply Precolor Easy on floors

Precolor Easy is a pre-colour, designed to always be used in combination with the Oil Plus 2C, to create special effects and contrasts. Enjoy unlimited creative possibilities thanks to the option to combine 14 different colours of Precolor Easy (which can be mixed with one another) with a finish in one of the 40 colours of the Oil Plus 2C. At the same time, the optimal molecular bonding of the Oil Plus 2C with the wood remains guaranteed.

Step 1: Sand the surface 

  • Sand the surface scratch-free. Finish with screening net 100 to 150. (When renovating, you must remove all the residues from previous treatments completely.)

Step 2: Vacuum thoroughly and clean with Cleaner

  • Vacuum thoroughly, eliminate remains of dust with Cleaner and wait until the surface is completely dry.

Step 3: Tape off areas

  • Tape off areas of ± 90 cm, in the lengthwise direction of the boards.

Step 4: Apply Precolor Easy 

  • Stir the product thoroughly and regularly with a stirring stick.
  • Apply an amount of Precolor Easy with the Microfiber Pad in one taped off area.
  • Make sure to use enough of the product to cover the whole area.
  • Afterwards smooth out the area again with the same Microfiber Pad (make sure the pad is thoroughly wrung out).
  • Now skip an area and do the same as in the first area. Finish off the whole room like this, always skipping one area.

Step 5: Allow the surface to dry for ± 12 hours

  • The exact drying time depends on the support, moistening, temperature and ventilation.
  • Remove the tape.

Step 6: Tape off the untreated areas 

  • Now tape off the untreated areas.

Step 7: Apply Precolor Easy

  • Stir the product again and apply as described in step 4.
  • Repeat until the whole floor is treated.
  • Afterwards remove the tape.
    • Tip: step on the already dried out areas to remove the tape.

Step 8: Allow the surface to dry for ± 12 hours

  • The exact drying time depends on the support, moistening, temperature and ventilation.
  • Remove the tape.

Step 9: Break the raised wood fibers

  • After drying, break the raised wood fibers with a floor polisher equipped with a red Pad and vacuum afterwards.
  • Remove the tape.

Step 10: Finish off with Oil Plus 2C 

  • Now apply Oil Plus 2C (A + B component). Read our application instructions carefully.
  • Tip: in combination with Precolor Easy it is best to use a white Pad to apply Oil Plus 2C instead a beige or red one.

 

- To determine the correct colour, always do a small test first with one of our 20 ml sample bottles on identical sanded and prepared wood.

- When using several containers at one site, it is required to mix them for an even result.

- Switch off the floor heating 48 hours before application.

- Do not use in combination with water-based finishing products, such as Invisible Protector.
