How to apply your Black Japan Floor Finish:

Let's get that Black Japan Look...

Without introducing any bubbles, use a flat blade stirrer and thoroughly stir your product both before and during application.
Note: If you are coating a large space and need more than one Floor Finish colour, mix all together in a large container.
Make sure you love your colour choice! Test your colour on an off-cut to ensure you love your colour.
Using the Feast Watson Floor Finish Applicator, brush or short nap mohair roller, apply your first coat. Work along 3-4 floorboards at a time, maintaining a wet edge to prevent lap marks and lay off in the direction of the grain. And remember, avoid introducing any bubbles!

The Black Japan Floor Finish is a three-coat flooring system. If you have achieved your colour before 3 coats that's okay! Finish off your floor with the Feast Watson Floorclear as per label instructions, and you're good to go.
