after using floor coating kit when do you apply clear coating?

I believe the instructions said to allow to dry for 24-48 hours, but because I was not in a hurry I waited approx 4 days.

After just using a tan kit , it feels fully dry at 24 hrs. Does it require any prep to now do the clear coat?

I waited for 4 days. you need to make sure that the floor is fully dry before adding the clear coat.

The clear coating may be applied no sooner than 24 hours and no later than five days (for best results) after applying the floor coating. Whether you can apply the clear coating after 24 hours depends on how high the humidity was during the 24 hour period after applying the floor coating, as high humidity will slow down the drying of the floor coating. Clear coat is definitely the way to go!

Make sure the floor is fully dry and not tack at all, but the instructions say not to wait longer than 5 days. I did my floor coating, waited three days and then applied the clear. Looks fantastic and the included anti slip is nice!!

That is correct; the way I use it is: 1 layer base coat 2 layers any color (same brand)1 layer after polish and let it dry. Remove once a week and you will see a dramatic difference

No clear coating required on cabinet paint. Kit includes all you need except the roller tray. Paint, rollers and handle, sandpaper (if needed). The counter top paint if you are interested in it also, that kit comes with the protective top coating included. Both kits came with all needed items except the paint / roller tray. I had plenty of paint left over from both kits. Hope this helps.

It worked very well and there were no changes in appearance on the two floor i used it on. Be sure you completely clean the surface being sealed.

I was putting on a coat every 30 minutes (dry to touch) I did 5 thin coats on my linoleum floor. Sets pretty fast, applied with a sponge. Probably takes 24 hours to fully cure.

Although I have not used this product on floors, my experience with it suggests that it isn't going to give you the results you want. At the very least, there will be some overspray of the surrounding area that will make the areas you've tried to seal very conspicuous. At the very least, I would recommend that you use a brush-on product that you can control and then finish the result by sanding with a very fine grit and steel wool. You can repeat the process until you blend the edges of the newly finished area into the older finish. Anything short of refinishing the entire floor is likely to leave some evidence of your retouching effort. I'd do the entire floor if possible.

Not for me. I brought it to work and have it in my office, sometimes with the door closed, other times open but have never noticed a coating. I assume you mean moisture. If you did have that problem you could turn it down.

My guess is that your floor has wax on it. You can buff the floor to regain the shine.

As long you apply Clear Coat, then it will stick to it. Just don't spray it too much(it will fall off or overlap) just spray it lightly. and remember, the longer you let the paint dry, the better the result.

I see your from Iowa - I worked In Dubuque for a about a year. Anyway, the end finish will be most comparable to a gloss clear coat. The basement I had done was very smooth to start with. I applied the material using a typical garden sprayer and it worked great. Biggest thing is that you mop the area first to get up all the little grits. If you don't wet mop the area, you will see the specs after your coating dries...hope think helps

The acid etch solution is in the epoxy kit, unless you just want a shiny floor i would recommend Epoxy. you can color it to your preference and also get flakes if you like that (i didn't at first want it but turned out really good). Also if you are in California like i am - this is no longer allowed all local places pulled it from shelves and i luckily found online before they stopped shipping to california as well. Good luck!

Clear. The clear coat starts to peel after a while though. If you can get them sprayed with some clear professionally they will look a lot better.

I really like it. I would say to read the directions and follow them, and you will have a nice looking floor...no mess. Seems to dry quickly, but don't overdo the amount you use. There is a little shine after I use it, but I think that's more just the laminate itself than it is the cleaner. Lightly spray the area, dust mop it clean, and move on to the next spot (area). Very nice!

I would recommend 2 or three coats just to make sure you have good coverage. Let it dry 30 min between coats. With my small kitchen I think I did 6 coats.I apply with a natural sponge and try not to let it pool up. Just put down a nice thin coat each timeAfter 2 years I have not had to recoat my floor yet. If you have minimal traffic it could last a long time

This is clear. The day before I used this floor refinisher I applied a few layers of all in one tinted polyurethane (matching our wood) with a small brush to scratches and discolored areas. This made a big difference on the finished look of our floors, but did not make the scratches invisible. I don't think this product alone will do anything to cover up deep black scratches. It will mask small ones alone.

Nicole - Thank you for the email. Have you sealed the repair and now are trying to dull the shine down? If so, this is because the shine in the sealer is high and if your tile is a flat it will be tough. I would suggest taking some nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol and rubbing the area softly to remove the lacquer and this will also dull the shine down slightly. After this dries, you can then use the white side to dull the shine more. After it at the shine you want, then you can stop. You do not need to use the clear pen if the shine is low. The repair will be sealed already and the higher shine is not needed. This should get you to where you need to be. Thank you

I agree with David. Scuff the surface of the floor where the glue will be applied using 100 grit sand paper. It shouldn't take much. Just take off some of the shine.
