Ratio 100 :
| Component | Weigh out |
|---|---|
| VTS20000part A | 500 g |
| Total | 500 g |
Covers roughly 55.56 m² at 9 g/m².
Pot life of the mix: n/a — no hardener; once tinted with CTH, use the same shift and keep out of daylight/UV.

Mixing matrix
- % by weight: 5–10 %schedule% by volume: 5–10 %recommended
When the parquet is to be coloured — the dye goes straight into the first coat.
CTH is a water-based dye concentrate (bases 1 yellow, 2 orange, 3 red, 4 brown, 9 black — intermixable). Don't go past 10 %: more dye hurts film formation and intercoat adhesion. Mix well and check the shade on a test board.
- Thinner% by weight: none — use as supplied (100 %)recommended
Normally used neat.
Control film weight with the roller gap/pressure, not with thinner.
