Application
AquaSeal® Pafuki is mixed into a pasty ready-to-trowel mass. It is recommended to use the fine sanding dust Grid 80 of multiple disc machine (e.g. Trio or Quattro). Unsuitable for this use is the dust got from longitudinal sanding with a belt sander. Joints up to max. 2 mm width are to be richly trowel-filled with the compound. Filler mixtures containing an insufficient quantity of sanding dust will settle down in the joints during the drying process. In case the mixture contains too much sanding dust, adhesion between the filler and the wood may be insufficient after drying so that the filler is torn out of the joints during the next sanding.
The paste prepared with sanding dust should, if possible, be quickly and completely trowel-spread with our BergerTool AquaSeal® Trowel (stainless steel). After drying the last fine sanding is done. This fine sanding must make sure that no residues are left on the floor’s surface.
A floor treated with AquaSeal® Pafuki can be coated with any of our finishes. In all cases it must be made sure that the mass is thoroughly dried through!
The wood filler should be prepared in a container so as to avoid spots in the wood. Always use the sanding dust of the floor to be trowelled.
Joints wider than 2 mm, prior to treating with wood filler, should be filled with wood chips or other suitable materials, such as AquaSeal® PAK-Stop and AquaSeal® FlexFill Color. The sanding dust and the surfaces to be repaired must be free of wax and dirt.
Drying
Standard climate 23°C/ 50% rel. humidity, surface can be sanded after approx. 30-45 min., large joints and cavities may delay drying. Do not sand before the surface is sufficiently dry.
Consumption

Depending on the kind and dimensions of joints, the consumption may increase.
