IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Application tool / application rate We strongly recommend the use of the LOBATOOL Roller Deluxe 120 ( consumption with this roller is 100-120 ml(g)/m² = 8 – 10m²/ per liter) . This roller allows the correct quantity of varnish to be applied to the wood surface which will then self-level. Local rollers do not apply a sufficient quantity of the varnish to the wood surface which compromises the quality and durability of the floor coating.
Intermediate sanding Able to recoat without intermediate sanding within the first 24 hours. After this time, an intermediate sanding is necessary. An intermediate sanding before the last application will achieve an even finish. Use LOBATOOL Perforated Pad K120 or finer, alternatively Sanding Net P120 or finer. Carefully remove dust before overcoating.

Drying time
Earliest possible recoating after 4-6 hours.
Careful use possible after 4-6 hours.
Earliest possible intermediate sanding after 8-10 hours.
Light use after 24 hours.
Full use and covering possible after 5 days. Use on parquet and hardwood floors:
Prepare and prime the substrate properly.
Allow the primer to dry as specified.
Apply by roller.
Dry.
Intermediate sanding.
Apply second coating layer by roller.
We recommend using a primer: to minimize side bonding and to seal off wood constituents, e.g. in exotic timber.
– Loba WS Opti Prime is the recommended primer for Loba Viva Half Matt.
General guidelines Cleaning of tools: Clean tools and equipment immediately with water. Drying time: The indicated drying times are valid for +20°C and 55% to 65% relative humidity, and assume careful, draught-free ventilation of the working area. Lower temperatures, higher relative humidity or poorer ventilation lead to longer drying times. Do not apply any protective coverings, wet clean the surface or lay carpet until the coating has achieved its final hardening. Product-specific data can be found in the relevant technical information.
Intermediate sanding: Where several layers of coatings are applied, if any layer is not overcoated within 24 hours, then the only way to ensure an adequate bond between the layers is by intermediate sanding. An intermediate sanding before the final application will achieve an even surface. Carefully clean off the dust after intermediate sanding. Use with or without a primer: The use of a primer increases application reliability and ensures a finish free of lap marks and stripes, almost irrespective of the wood type.
