How to apply Pre-Aging to flooring
A new floor with an aged look. It is a flooring trend that is very popular right now. In addition to effectively smoking and fuming wood, there are many reactive products to provide a weathered or aged look to the wood.
Rubio Monocoat Pre-Aging is a high-quality, non-reactive pre-treatment that creates the look of reactive stains, but without the drawbacks. Rubio Monocoat Pre-Aging is available in 10 standard colours, ranging from a lighter to a darker smoked look, including the warm, green/ brown undertones that are so popular. All colours can be mixed with each other, so that the client can get exactly what he wants..
Attention: This product is a pre-treatment and does not protect the wood. It has to be combined with Rubio Monocoat finishing products for maximum protection.

Instructions for use
STEP 1 Sand surface without making scratches and vacuum.
STEP 2 Apply Pre-Aging to the surface using a painters tray and the Rubio Monocoat Microber Bristle Pad. For edges/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.
STEP 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.
STEP 4 After drying (approx. 24 hours if there is sucient ventilation), break the raised wood fibres using a buffer with a red pad. Vacuum and finish with a colour from the Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C range. No buffing needed.
Didn’t expect it to be so dark but I can’t say I’m disappointed, Rubio always comes in handy. Worth every dollar
LOVE everything I've ordered! It's all great quality, nice and flat, great selection and perfect for laser projects. Highly recommend KJP! Please continue to carry Houston Acrylics as well- love their acrylic colours and supporting their small business as well. The pattern ply are fun and so nice too. Thanks KJP! This Canadian laser user is so happy to have found your shop.
I have ordered the craft 1/8" walnut plywood from KJP with great results, but this 'TruFlat' stuff is not real walnut. In any case, looks very different from the other laserable walnut mdf-veneered product I have from Trotec, as well as the other craft ply walnut from KJP- which is good for lasering, btw. Order a sample first. It is very flat tho, but lookswise its not what we were looking for... not going to get this again.
