Carry out basic cleaning first if necessary.

Wet scrubbing and wet vacuuming methods

Main work involved Pore undiluted pore filler onto the floor and apply evenly with an application tool and cover, making overlapping circular movements.

Apply 1 thin coat: do not allow the pore filler to form a layer on the surface. Do not apply too thickly!

Work in strips. Always work wet-on-wet to ensure a smooth transition.Work rapidly and carefully, taking care not too rush things: then let the pore filler be absorbed.

Note the drying time! Do not walk on surface until dry.
