Cork Lacquer Matte Transparent

Wait to assess until the top coat of lacquer has completely dried. Assess the irregularities both from a distance of several meters from a low viewing angle and directly above, right in front of your feet. Are the irregularities visible from a low viewing angle, but not directly from above? Then it concerns differences in gloss level and/or layer thickness, These can be solved by sanding the floor in between and lacquering it again. Avoid repetition by paying extra attention to applying the lacquer evenly and rolling overlaps thoroughly wet-on-wet. The best way to distribute evenly is to apply the lacquer in blocks. Apply an equal amount of lacquer per block and distribute it crosswise within that block. Then roll wet-on-wet. Do this without pressure on the roller with the longest possible lacquer stick. Make sure that you do not push any visible difference in layer thickness in front of the roller when rolling it again. If necessary, roll out too much lacquer over a larger area first.

Are the irregularities visible from above as a colour difference and has a subsequent layer of lacquer not removed them? Then it is unfortunately necessary to sand the surface completely or partially bare again and to rebuild the lacquer system. Then proceed as described in the above question about 'applying'.

Covering a freshly lacquered floor always involves risks, although these are less when using a breathable quality. Our advice is to first carefully consider whether the work sequence can be adjusted, so that covering can be omitted. If there is really no other option, we advise the professional to first deliver the floor and only then have it covered. Never use tape to secure the covering material to the fresh lacquer coat.
