Technical Data Sheet
MSDS Sheet

An overview of instructions. Please consult the TDS for complete product information.

1. Sand surface without making scratches and vacuum.

2. Apply Pre-Aging to the surface using a painters tray and the Rubio Monocoat Microber Bristle Pad. For edges and corners, apply with a cut in pad then smooth the Pre-Aging using a white pad. Work along the length of the boards, in widths of 10-15 inches. Avoid forming puddles.

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.

4. After drying (approx. 24 hours if there is sufficient ventilation), break the raised wood fibers using a buffer with a red pad. Vacuum and finish with a color from the Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C range. No buffing needed.

Wish I had found you sooner! Arrived quickly, good correspondence. I never wondered what about the status of my order. Wont hesitate to buy from you again.

Not criticisms but observations for what they're worth. Easy purchase but free delivery was slow: October 29 to November 6, 2025. Faster mail service makes this product's market price cost prohibitive on your sight. Time constraints are less a factor for small DYS homeowner projects, but larger project and contractors, it creates an undue consideration. Key and foundational shipping offsets of large big-box stores and online retailers are quantity purchases and 'membership fees,' the latter being the most important key.

I spoke with the person in the Technical Support department who listened and understood my complicated circumstances and made the perfect recommendation. I received the product within a couple of days and before the weekend ended, the job was complete and I am very pleased with results. Thank you, Eco Building Products for your support and product recommendation.
