How To Finish Wood Floors

FABULON

A Modern Method

The most modern type of floor finish, FABULON, is a surface coating especially formulated to lastingly protect and beautify wood floors. FABULON flows easily over the pre-sanded floor surface and seeks its own level, affording a perfect base for the second coat of FABULON. FABULON, therefore, requires no wood filler, since the purpose of a wood filler is to level the surface of open-grain wood to provide a smoother finish. However, the use of filler not only destroys much of the natural beauty of the wood but also lessens the durability of the finish due to improper adhesion, adds another operation to the floor finishing cycle, is difficult (often messy) to apply, and needlessly delays the re-use of the finished floor.

Fastest Drying

FABULON dries tack-free within 15 minutes . . . ready for the second coat in one hour! The first coat, when dry, should be lightly hand-sanded before the second coat is applied. FABULON is normally described as a finish of "radiant satin sheen." If, however, a brilliant high gloss is preferred, simply apply a third coat (reduced 4 parts of FABULON to 1 part of Fabulon REDUCER), after allowing the second coat to dry at least four hours, preferably overnight. The third coat should dry overnight before the room is subjected to normal use.

FABULON may also be applied over stained floors after any standard brand of oil stain in desired color is applied in accordance with the manufacturer's directions. Allow stain to dry overnight and wipe thoroughly with clean dry cloths before applying FABULON.

Stable in Storage

FABULON does not "settle" or "skin-over" in the container; thus no stirring or shaking is required. Even a small amount of FABULON will remain in good, usable condition for years when stored in a sealed container.
