Rubio Monocoat Pre-Aging Authentic 2 – 1 Litre

Rubio Monocoat Pre-Aging is a high-quality, non-reactive pre-treatment that creates the look of reactive stains, but without the drawbacks.

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. The colour spectrum ranges from a lighter to a darker smoked look, with colours that can be mixed with each other to the variant the customer wants. This results in a deep colour with subtle accents.

Attention: This product is a pre-treatment and does not protect the wood. It has to be combined with one of our Rubio Monocoat finishing products for maximum protection.

Instructions for use
Recommended application method with the Rubio Monocoat Microfiber Pad:

• STEP 1. Sand surface without making scratches and vacuum.
• STEP 2. Saturate surface from a bucket (RMC Bucket) with an RMC Microfiber Pad. For edges/corners: apply with brush (RMC
  Brush) / RMC Mouse Pad and smooth with beige Rubio Monocoat Scrubby Pad. Work along the length of the boards, in
  zones of 2-3 boards (depending on width) and avoid puddle formation.
• STEP 3. Allow to dry for about 24 hours and ensure sufficient 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 4. After drying (24 hours if there is sufficient ventilation), break the raised wood fibres with a floor polisher with red
  Rubio Monocoat Pad. Vacuum and finish with a colour from the RMC Oil Plus 2C range. No buffing needed.

Consumption
1L = 15 – 20 m2, depending on the sort of wood and the preparation.
These usages are merely indicative. It is always recommended to make a sample in order to calculate the exact usage.

Tips & Tricks
Take into account that the basic colour, the grain structure and the porosity of the wood may affect the end result. A wood type
with a red undertone, for example, will have a different effect than new, light-coloured pinewood. That is why it is important to
apply a sample first.
