HYDROLINE®SEALER
RECOMMENDED SYSTEMS
Full Sand - 1-2 coats Hydroline Sealer followed by 2 coats of Basic
Coatings waterbased finishes.
NOTE: Substitute 2 coats of Commercial Catalyzed Sealer in high
traffic commercial locations or Lock n’ Seal on white oak or other
species to minimize tannin pull.
APPLICATION OVER STAINS AND PAINTS
Apply paints and stains and allow to dry per manufacturers direction
or longer depending on environmental conditions. Apply 2 coats of
Hydroline Sealer followed by a Basic Coatings waterbased finish.
A test board is recommended with any stain to insure compatibility
and color acceptance.
ADDING WATER
Up to 12 ounces of water can be added per gallon of finish. Adding
water will increase the flow and level time during situations of high
temperature and low humidity.
SURFACE PREPARATION
1. Before sanding, clean the floor using Basic Coatings’ Squeaky™
Cleaner following label instructions. Cleaning should be done to
remove contaminants from the floor before sanding.
2. Sand floors using accepted NWFA/MFMA procedures. All old
finish must be removed. A NIOSH approved dust mask should
be worn during sanding.
3. Finish sanding with a new 120-grit screen. DO NOT USE STEEL
WOOL.
4. Vacuum. Tack with a clean, dry Basic Coatings’ Microfiber Mop
until all dust has been removed.

SEALER APPLICATION
Always maintain adequate ventilation during all phases of the coating
and drying process.
1. Measure moisture content of floor in several areas.
2. Shake and rock container several times. Use a stir stick to re-
disperse any settlement.
3. Set aside for approximately 10 minutes to allow bubbles to
break.
4. Rinse refill applicator and remove all excess water. This also
helps to remove loose fibers.
5. Apply Hydroline®Sealer using standard waterbased application
procedures.
6. Allow each coat a minimum of 30-45 minutes to level.
7. After sealer levels, place fans in an adjacent area to pull
moisture away from the job site. When each coat has dried a
minimum of 2-3 hours (under good conditions), re-measure
moisture content. If moisture content is not equal to the first
reading, allow more dry time. Repeat for each coat.
8. If necessary, abrade between coats to remove debris, hair,
drips, etc. or if the 24-hour window between coats has elapsed.
Abrade with the pad-and-strip system using 180-240 grit
sanding strips. Between coats, vacuum and tack with a Basic
Coatings®Microfiber Mop dampened with Squeaky™.
9. If the 24-hour window has elapsed, the TyKote®Dust-Free
Refinishing System is an to alternative screening the floor. Refer
to TyKote application procedures for details.
10. Apply second coat in the same manner if desired.
PAINTING GAME LINES
Apply any painted game lines after screening and cleaning the second
coat of sealer. Refer to gymnasium technical literature for acceptable
paints and painting procedures.
DRY TIME
Allow at least 2-3 hours between coats and 1 hour of good ventilation
before closing job site.
