Ensure that floors to be varnished are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

1. All previous finishes must be completely removed back to bare wood by stripping or sanding the wood
2. Fill any gaps or splits in the wood surface with Morrells Two-Part Coloured Wood Fillers or other suitable wood filler
3. New wood can be cleaned and degreased with methylated spirit if required
4. Freshly sanded floors should be swept and vacuumed to remove all traces of sanding dust, dirt and debris
5. Prior to varnishing, softwood floors can be stained with Morrells Light Fast Wood Stain if desired
6. The application of Morrells Induro General Purpose Sealer or Morrells Induro Isolating Sealer, prior to varnishing is recommended for better adhesion to the substrate

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

1. Apply the varnish using a short pile roller, T-bar applicator or mohair flooring pad
2. For domestic environments: apply 2 coats of varnish after priming with General Purpose Sealer or Induro Isolating Sealer leaving 2-3 hours drying time and lightly sanding, or de-nibbing between coats
3. For light commercial environments: apply 3 coats of varnish after priming, leaving 2-3 hours before re-coating

Application brushes and equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with warm, soapy water and wiped dry.

Once final coat has dried, light traffic can be resumed after 24 hours. Do not place furniture or move furniture across the floor surface for at least 3 days after application. Avoid mats, rugs or floor coverings for the first 5 days as this will impede final cure and general performance of the product.

Morrells Induro XL1 Floor Varnish will typically require 7 days to reach full hardness, so wet cleaning and vacuuming should be avoided until after this period.

The use of good quality entrance mats and furniture pads are recommended to avoid damage to the finish. Surfaces should be swept or vacuumed regularly to avoid the build up of dust or grit as this becomes abrasive and will degrade the finish over time. A soft cloth or mop lightly dampened with a dedicated wood flooring cleaner and water can also be used, as and when required.
