Rubio Monocoat Pre-Aging – 1L – Authentic #3

Non-reactive pre-treatment to give new wood an old look.

A new floor with an old look. It is a floor trend that is currently very popular. In addition to actually smoking and fuming wood, there are many reactive products that will give the wood a smoked or aged look.

Rubio Monocoat Pre-Aging is a high-quality, non-reactive pre-treatment, available in 10 standard shades.

This results in a deep colour with subtle accents.

Instructions for use for furniture, stairs & worktops:

STEP 1. Sand the surface scratch-free. Finish with screening net 100 to 150, the colour intensity depends on the sanding method used.
When renovating, you must remove all the residues from previous treatments completely (varnish, oil, wax, etc.).
STEP 2. Vacuum the surface thoroughly.
STEP 3. Shake the Rubio Monocoat Pre-Aging well before use and pour in a bucket (Rubio Monocoat Bucket). STEP 4. Apply the product evenly and in a saturated manner on the to be treated surface with a Rubio Monocoat tool, such as a Microfiber Pad, Brush, Sponge, spray gun or roller.
Tip: For edges/corners: apply with brush (Rubio Monocoat Brush) or a green Rubio Monocoat Mouse Pad. STEP 5. Smooth out with a beige Rubio Monocoat Scrubby Pad. Avoid puddle formation.
STEP 6. Allow to dry for about 24 hours and ensure sufficient ventilation. The exact drying time depends on the foundation, air humidity, temperature and ventilation.
Tip: It is perfectly normal for the surface to dry in ‘spots’ that follow the grain pattern. As long as the surface still looks ‘spotted’, it is not dry yet.
STEP 7. After drying, break the raised wood fibers with a red Scrubby Pad and vacuum afterwards.
STEP 8. Now apply the Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C.
Please consult the technical data sheet of the oil for a correct application.
