Frequently Asked Questions

If only minor and incidental traffic, such as pass-through traffic, has taken place in those few days then normal published procedures for cleaning sealing and finishing should be performed. The condition of the floor shall be free of dust, soiling, beverage spills, and the like where the tile joints have not been contaminated. <br /><br /> While conducting sealing and finishing procedures, restrict the area only to persons necessary for the procedure. <br /><br /> 1. Using a wringer mop and wringer bucket, damp mop the floor using warm-hot water with the proper dilution of FCP-500 All Purpose neutral floor cleaner. DO NOT FLOOD OR SOAK THE FLOOR. Follow this cleaning with a clear water damp mop rinsing. You may also use an auto-scrubber for cleaning and rinsing in lieu of the mop. Allow the floor to dry. Accelerated drying with exhaust fans and/or blowers is encouraged. If your municipal water supply causes water spots to appear on the dry floor you can buff them away using a clean buffing pad. Shake the pad clean frequently. Do not use tack cloths or sweeping compounds. <br /><br /> 2. For commercial installations apply FCP-102 - Do not apply in residential situations. Using a clean non-linting rayon wringer mop and wringer bucket apply FCP-102. DO NOT POUR SEALER DIRECTLY ONTO THE FLOOR. (A good tip is to line the wringer pail a heavy plastic trash bag that can be discarded when through.) Pour the FCP-102 into the pail and submerge the mop in it until the head is full. Wring the mop head so it is not dripping. Apply by mopping the floor evenly, working against the wet edge. The application coat should be thin and streak-free. Do not over work an area, but reload the mop instead. Work from side to side. Allow to dry and apply a second coat in a direction perpendicular to the first. Drying time will vary. DO NOT ACCELERATE DRYING TIME WITH BLOWERS. Under normal conditions, the second coat may be applied 15 minutes after the first is dry to the touch. <br /><br /> 3. Apply the FCP-300 Duro-Gloss Floor Sealer & Finish in the same manner as the FCP-102. Apply two coats. Restrict traffic and placement of protective coverings until the next day.
