Product Description
DuraSeal Waterbased Polyurethane: 1 Gallon
DuraSeal Waterbased Polyurethane is a single component urethane resine that provides the look and durability of a traditional oil-based polyurethane. This innovative product applies just as easy as DuraSeal Polyurethane. DuraSeal Waterbased Polyurethane is easily cleaned up with warm water, instead of mineral spirits associated with oil-based polyurethanes.

SURFACE PREPARATION
- NEW NATURAL FLOORS
- Sand and prepare floor according to NWFA recommended methods. Finish sanding with a 120 or 150 grit screen. Do not use steel wool. Vacuum thoroughly and tack floor with a slightly water-dampened cloth to remove all dust. Apply 2 coats of DuraSeal Fast Dry Sanding Sealer or DuraSeal Quick Dry Sealer. Apply 1-2 coats of DuraSeal Waterbased Polyurethane Floor Finish.
- NEW STAINED FLOORS
- Sand and prepare floor according to NWFA recommended methods. Finish sanding with a 100 grit screen. Do not use steel wool. Apply DuraSeal Quick Coat according to label directions. Apply 2 coats of DuraSeal Fast Dry Sanding Sealer or DuraSeal Quick Dry Sealer. Apply 1-2 coats of DuraSeal Waterbased Polyurethane Floor Finish.
- PREVIOUSLY FINISHED FLOORS
- Note: Do not apply over wax, lacquer, stains or shellac containing wax or stearates. Be certain floor is free from all wax or oily residue. Clean and abrade floor using the DuraSeal Pre-Treat System. Do not use steel wool. Vacuum thoroughly and tack floor with a slightly water-dampened cloth to remove all dust. Apply 2 coats of DuraSeal Waterbased Polyurethane. DuraSeal Waterbased Polyurethane will adhere to most stains and finishes after proper preparation. ALWAYS PREPARE A SAMPLE OR TEST AREA TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY.
APPLICATION
Be certain all material is at room temperature. Shake container vigorously for 10 seconds or rock container at least 10-12 times to properly mix contents. Use a synthetic bar applicator to provide the smoothest finish. Best results are achieved when ambient temperatures are between 50 and 90 F, and humidity below 80%. This product will amber upon application; avoid use over white stain. If applying to white oak use DuraSeal® Super Base Sealer.
- Pour a 5 - 6" wide line of finish along the starting wall, going with the grain of the wood.
- Using a clean, dampened applicator, draw the finish toward the opposite wall going with the grain of the wood. Holding the applicator at a "snowplow" angle will maintain a wet edge at all times.
- As you approach the end of the run, turn the applicator toward you and pad out excess material parallel to the wet edge.
- Feather out all turns.
- APPLY DURASEAL WATERBASED POLYURETHANE AT 500 SQ.FT. PER GALLON TO ACHIEVE PROPER FILM BUILD AND PREVENT LAPPING AND APPLICATOR MARKS.
- Allow first coat to dry 2-3 hours. EXTENDED DRY TIME IS REQUIRED WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND LOW TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS.
- Abrade floor lightly with a used DuraSeal Pre-Treat pad. Vacuum thoroughly and tack floor with a slightly water-dampened cloth to remove all dust. Abrading is not required for additional coats if the finish is applied within 24 hours of the previous coat.
DRY TIME AND CURE
- Recoat time: 2-3 hours between coats
- Light foot traffic is acceptable after 24 hours
- Allow one week before exposing finish to rugs, cleaners, spills or heavy traffic

MAINTENANCE
- Use walk-off mats at all entrance doorways to keep dirt and grit to a minimum. Sweep or vacuum daily and damp wipe as needed with DuraSeal Hardwood Floor Cleaner. Do not use all-purpose cleaner/degreaser products.
