Chimiver ECOCROM | Acrylic-Polyurethane Toning Wood Primer | Where To Use It

While the new Chimiver ECOCROM | Acrylic-Polyurethane Toning Wood Primer is at its best when used to seal hardwood and semi solid wood floors, it can also be successfully used to seal and enhance wood furniture, wood doors, wood frames, wood skirting, wood walls & all other types of unsealed wooden surfaces. It can be used indoors and outdoors subject to using the most appropriate top coat to protect it. The primer has little protection qualities on its own, its main job is to prepare and tone the wood surface & then it has to be overcoated with any water based or solvent based floor lacquer.

Chimiver ECOCROM | Acrylic-Polyurethane Toning Wood Primer | How To Use It

Surface preparation is the most important step. The wood surface has to be sealant free, dry & clean. All old pre-existing sealers have to be fully removed by sanding. The surface has to be finished with 100 grit sandpaper before priming it. The estimated coverage area for this wood primer is around 10 sq meters per 1L but it can vary depending on the type of wood, the quality of the sanding job and the application method.

1. Vacuum the surface well a number of times

2. Using a small brush start applying the primer around the edges

3. For the larger areas use a good varnishing roller

4. Move along with the fiber of the wood and not against it

5. Allow it to dry 1-2 hours

6. Re-sand the whole surface with 150-180 grit sandpaper

7. Vacuum the whole floor well and the project is ready for lacquering

Do not use the product when the outside temperature is below 10C or above 30C. 

Chimiver ECOCROM | Acrylic-Polyurethane Toning Wood Primer | Recommendations

Use enough product to be able to impregnate the wood evenly being careful not to miss any patches of wood. After the priming job is done remember to seal the whole surface with 2-3 coats of lacquer. Buy enough floor primer to have enough for the whole project. Do not mix up the product with any other wood primer from Chimiver or other brands. Do not touch other wood surfaces that do not require priming. Clean all your tools with clean water. Keep the product in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.
