Preparation
New unpainted surfaces:
Concrete floors: Remove laitance with a grinding machine. Remove sanding dust.

Painting
Stir Betolux Akva well before use.
Concrete floors: Prime new concrete floors with Betolux Akva Pohjuste (Primer) or once with Betolux Akva thinned 10% with water. Finish new and previously painted concrete floors with non-diluted Betolux Akva 2-3 times. Use shortpile roller or synthetic brush on small surfaces
Wooden floors: Prime new wooden floors once with Betolux Akva thinned with 10% water. Finish new and previously painted floors 2-3 times with non-diluted Betolux Akva. Apply with a synthetic brush.
