How to Apply GK Invisible Wood Sealer

This product is ready to use - do not dilute.

Shake container before use.

Always test a small hidden portion of the timber floor before use, to ensure the final result is satisfactory and to calculate consumption.

Ensure the surface is fully dry and dust free before application.

Apply a generous even coat with a brush, long pile roller or low pressure spray to saturation point.

Once the first coat starts to soak in, apply a further wet on wet coat. This method gives deeper penetration into the surface. Do not allow the product to dry in between applications.

Avoid runs, drips or puddling by removing excess product from the surface using a clean lint free cloth.

Leave to dry.

Surfaces should be touch dry within 2 hours and fully dry after 24 hours.

For flooring and decking, please allow 24 hours before subjecting to heavy traffic.

To effectively seal timber floors use a commercial sealer such as GK Invisible Wood Sealer. Our specially designed formula provides deep penetration and durability to protect against rot, stains, weathering and delamination.
