- For floor coating, urethane, and UV-resistant, pay particular attention to subfloor condition, trowel coverage, room temperature and traffic plan.

How to check readiness
Test the least-ventilated area before walking, covering or replacing furniture. The product page gives a pot life of 25 minutes at 68°F. The product page gives a maximum recoat of 48 hours at 68°F. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required.
