Tips for painting

Restoring varnished parquet floors

1. Remove peeling or weakly attached layers of varnish using a scraper. Polish the old, strong layer of varnish until it becomes matted, and then remove polishing dust with a vacuum cleaner and a moist cleaning cloth.
2. Clean surfaces with a cleaning agent, according to the instructions on the label. Carefully rinse the surfaces and let them dry.
3. Fill small cracks and scratches with a mixture of polishing dust and varnish.
4. Lightly polish the treated locations with sandpaper and remove the polishing dust with a moist cleaning cloth or with a vacuum cleaner.
5. Prime the surface with a thin layer of varnish once or twice, using a floor varnishing brush or 2-3 times using a steel spatula.
6. Varnish the surface 2-3 times with floor varnish, using a floor varnishing brush or a mohair or felt spatula.
7. Let the surface dry for approx. 4 hours between varnishing. Lightly polish the surface between varnishing and remove the polishing dust with a brush and cloth.
8. Clean the tools according to instructions on the label.
