Our lacquer production craftsmen looked for a way to retain the untreated appearance of substrates. The result of their quest is SKYLT. With SKYLT, wood stays purely wood. SKYLT protects the original and emphasises the original appearance.

This may happen if the 2 components of the SKYLT Original were not sufficiently mixed or were applied in an incorrect ratio. You can solve this by lightly polishing the surface with P120 sandpaper. After adding the hardener, you should firmly shake the packaging for several minutes. Afterwards, lacquer the floor again.
In these cases, the floor has often been cleaned with an inappropriate detergent. Many standard floor cleaning products leave soap residue, which will, over time, create a glossy effect. You should always use SKYLT Conditioner for the regular maintenance of your SKYLT floor. SKYLT Conditioner was specially developed to retain the ultra-matte look of SKYLT. You can fix the floor by cleaning it once with STEP Intensive Cleaner and mopping it with clean water afterwards. That way, you'll remove all soap and dirt residue from the floor. This will bring back the ultra-matte look of SKYLT again.
Yes, we offer SKYLT Original in 0.5-litre packaging specifically for this purpose. SKYLT is highly suitable for providing furniture and floors with an invisible protective coat.
Yes, but recommend using coasters. Potential heat rings will disappear within a few days.
The hardener has a limited shelf life after opening. The hardener reacts to moisture: squeeze the air ouf the pouche well.
That is possible, but make sure there is good ventilation in the room. And don't allow water to stand on it for a long time.
The mixing ratio (A : B in weight) of SKYLT Titanium #5550 is 10 : 1.
SKYLT Titanium #5550 is certainly very well suited for this. Of course, the floor must be well maintained.
The SKYLT Conditioner #9140 (or SKYLT Conditioner #9141 Spray & Wipe) leaves no soap residue. Other cleaning products can make the floor shine (soaf film) or there may be bleaching agents in the product that affect the lacquer layer.
When using only SKYLT Titanium #5550, sanding is required between the second and the third layer.
When using SKYLT Recoatable Colour Oil #5050, #5051 or #5052, sanding is necessary after the first layer. The wood fibers will set up less, so that less heavy or no polishing is required.
The SKYLT Titanium #5550 could be removed with a solution of 35% ammonia in water.
No, this is not possible. And we recommend sanding wooden surfaces completely bare before applying SKYLT.
SKYLT Original #5510 and SKYLT Titanium #5550 are resistant to a 48% solution of ethanol. We test this ourselves: we leave it for an hour without problems, so taking it off will certainly not be a problem. We would advise not to use a solution stronger than 70%.
Note: it must be real ethanol. The so-called rubbing alcohol is quite different (isopropylalcohol).
This can be done for a couple hours. It is strongly advised not to leave it longer. The lacquer needs oxygen to harden properly. If the floor is covered and shows damages, it can be polished and re-lacquered.
Smoked floors can be finished with SKYLT. SKYLT does not contain any white pigment.
On dark woods, we recommend SKYLT Titanium #5550, but SKYLT Original #5510 is also widely used. The colouring is a matter of taste. A test on a small area can make the difference visible.
Note: If a lighter tint is chosen on a dark background, we recommend SKYLT Original #5510 as the first layer instead of SKYLT Primer #5020.
Technically this is possible, but it is not a logical choice. After all, SKYLT Titanium #5550 is used on dark woods, while SKYLT Primer #5020 is prescribed for light woods. On dark woods (read smoked oak and darker) the standard advice for invisible protection is therefore 3 layers of SKYLT Titanium #5550.
