• Q: You state it is not recommended unless a high percentage of color - what number indicated a high percentage as I wanted to compare to the designer tile we purchased from you?

  A: Our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer is best used on floors with 75% + color flec but can be used on any color floor. When used on black floors, the sealer will make it appear dull. If there is any level of color flec in the floor, it will help to keep the color popping for as long as the sealer is on the floor.

• Q: Once you apply the sealer to the rubber floor, should you or can you buff it, to bring back the shine?

  A: If you apply our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer to your floor, you can not buff it. If you use a buffer, you will actually strip the sealer off the floor. This sealer is a wax based sealer and will only offer a semi-gloss appearance to the floor.

• Q: How do you apply this product?

  A: To apply our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer, you will want to follow these steps. 1. Thoroughly clean all residue from the rubber rolls or tiles using our Rubber Floor Cleaner and Degreaser. 2. Rinse Thoroughly and allow to dry. 3. Fully saturate a clean, good quality sponge mop with non-diluted Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. 4. Apply a thin coat of finish and allow it to fully dry (avoid aggressive fan forced drying that may cause the finish not to dry completely). 5. Repeat to a maximum of four coats, or until the desired level of sheen is achieved. 6. It is critical that the floor finish is applied in thin coats and is allowed to dry between coats or hazing fully may occur. It is not recommended that finish is machined buffed or finish marking may occur. 7. After the surface has been dry for 24 hours, general maintenance such as damp mopping may be done as required.
