How To Use
| Step |
Instruction |
| 1 |
For 2-component finishes such as 2K Duo or 2K Supra A.T., add hardener to the finish first, then add Whitener and mix thoroughly. |
| 2 |
For 1-component finishes, add one 80 ml bottle per gallon of finish and shake or stir thoroughly just before application. |
| 3 |
Do not pour mixed finish directly on the floor. Use a LOBA finish bucket and apply with a roller or T-bar. |
| 4 |
Apply edges with a LOBA edge roller. Apply evenly and avoid puddles and overlaps. Always test on a sample area first. |
Note for dark wood species: Whitener is recommended primarily for light wood species and light-colored surfaces. For dark woods, lap mark risk increases significantly. Use matte finishes where possible and consult Loba-Wakol before applying to dark species.
For professional use only. Always prepare a sample area before full application. For technical support call Loba-Wakol at 1-800-230-6456.
