Usage

Achieving optimal results with Renner SolidBase XD 1061 requires careful preparation and application. Follow these guidelines for a professional finish:

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, waxes, or glues. Fill any grout lines with SolidFiller mixed with wood powder, then sand the raw wood (100-150 grit recommended). Vacuum thoroughly before application. If staining, use water-insoluble pigments.
• Product Mixing: Thoroughly mix SolidBase XD 1061 to homogenise any settled product. Add 10% Solid2K hardener while stirring vigorously for one minute. For very dry wood or during summer, dilute the first coat by 5-10% with SolidLongLife or tap water before adding hardener.
• Application: Apply 1-2 coats using a roller or brush. Maintain an application temperature between +10°C and +35°C (ideal 15-25°C) and relative humidity between 40-80%. For light foot traffic, allow 4 hours.
• Drying & Sanding: Allow 3-16 hours drying time between coats. The surface can typically be sanded after 16 hours (use fine abrasives, 280-320 grit, to avoid over-sanding). Full livable cure is achieved in 3 days, with maximum crosslinking within a week. In critical conditions (below 15°C, high humidity), extend sanding wait to 48 hours.
• Tool Cleaning: Clean tools immediately after use with tap water before the product dries.
• Storage: Store the product in its original, hermetically sealed packaging at 23°C for up to 18 months, avoiding humid spaces or temperatures above 35°C.
