Mixed with sawdust from the final sanding, it maintains the woods natural colour, allowing a superior finish to be achieved while at the same time preventing the finish from bonding across joints. Easy to use, it is quick drying, odourless, non-yellowing and easy to sand. LIANFLOOR® can be used on all soft and hardwood flooring and may be stained and used with other varnishes that are compatible with acrylic fillers.
