1.6 Apply Top Sealer Using a Polish Applicator

APPLY TOP SEALER USING A POLISH APPLICATOR

• Rinse new polish applicator in water before use. Always use a clean polish applicator in good condition. Must not use anti-static dust control fringe mops.
• Pour the sealer into a clean watering can. The spout should be reduced in size to a hole about 8mm wide (using a plug or the finger of a rubber glove with a hole in it).
• Work on areas about 2m wide and 6m long. Pour a line of sealer onto the floor down the centre of this work area. The pour-line should be about 80 – 100mm wide.
• Immediately take up the polish applicator and wet the fringe with some polish then wipe the applicator back and forth across the floor area, walking backwards as you go. This will spread the sealer from the pour-line right across the floor. Use a figure-eight motion of over-lapping strokes with the applicator. Make sure every part of the floor is coated: don’t leave any bare streaks.
• Move to the next 2m x 6m area and repeat the process until the whole floor has been coated. Be careful not to overlap the new coat onto the previous area as this will make shiny streaks. Run the applicator along the sides first to frame the wet area and then fill in.
