Preparation
Preparation
Back
Proper preparation is essential to achieve the best adhesion, appearance and durability when applying Ciranova Fortico 2C. Ensure that surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease or any other surface contaminants before application.
- Remove any existing paint, varnish, lacquer or other finish completely to expose clean bare wood.
- Take care when working with coatings on older surfaces, particularly pre-1960s paints, as they may contain lead. If in doubt, test the coating before sanding or seek professional advice.
- Ensure the timber is free from dust, grease and other contaminants before beginning the sanding process.
- Sand the surface progressively using the correct sanding sequence, typically starting with 60 grit, followed by 80 grit and finishing with 100 grit.
- Fortico 2C can be applied to properly prepared sanded, planed or brushed wood surfaces.
- For a lighter finish, Ciranova Woodlook Plus can be used as a primer before applying Fortico 2C.
- For floors with underfloor heating, exotic wood species or cork, the use of a suitable compatible primer is recommended to help promote adhesion and achieve an even finish.
