The interior varnish covers 500 to 600 sq ft per gallon (3.78 L) per coat, and SamaN recommends 2 or 3 coats. A 12 × 12 ft floor is 144 sq ft, so 3 coats is about 432 sq ft, or roughly three-quarters of a gallon. A 946 mL can covers about 125 to 150 sq ft per coat.
SamaN's data sheet says 60 to 80°F (about 16 to 27°C) and 30 to 80% relative humidity. In a Canadian winter, keep the room heated to that range while you work and while it cures. At 70°F and 50% humidity, recoat in 1 to 2 hours; SamaN says full cure takes about 7 to 10 days.
No. SamaN's data sheet says the interior varnish is for interior wood only. For fences, doors, windows, garden furniture and rails, use the Exterior Water-Based Varnish. SamaN's page for it does not list an application temperature or dry time, so follow the label.
The interior varnish comes in matte, satin, semi-gloss and gloss. For the flattest look, choose Dead Flat Varnish. The exterior varnish comes in flat, satin and semi-gloss.
It is for hardwood, laminate, vinyl and tile floors. SamaN says not to use it on a floor that has been oiled or waxed. The restorer dries in about 1 hour at 70°F, you can walk on it after at least 4 hours, and heavy traffic should wait 24 hours. Apply at 60 to 80°F. See the kit.
Remove dirt, grease and old wax first. TSP Eco is a cleaner and degreaser for woodwork, walls and other surfaces, and it is rinse-free. Fill cracks and holes with Latex Wood Filler. Do not use steel wool between varnish coats.
