About this file
This document is Attachment-08 Guidelines for maple wood floor refinishing, which appears to be a technical exhibit for a custodial services contract at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
The guidelines specify detailed requirements for refinishing maple gym floors, including thorough tack ragging before applying the first coat, particularly at edges and corners. The document outlines specific procedures for surface preparation, including light abrading with #2 steel wool or screen between coats (except when using water-based urethane finishes), followed by vacuuming and double tack ragging. Environmental conditions must be controlled, with indoor temperatures and all finishing materials maintained at 65 degrees Fahrenheit or higher during application. The guidelines mandate adequate ventilation, normal humidity conditions, and specify that floors should not receive heavy traffic for at least one week after the final coat application, with strict adherence to manufacturer-recommended cure times.

Maple Wood Floor Refinishing Attachment-08 (Guidelines)
Finishing immediately before applying the first coat of finish, maple gym floors should be thoroughly tack ragged, giving particular attention to edges and corners. Apply an even coat of finish in accordance with your finish manufacturers’ instructions. Allow to dry completely.
Lightly abrade with #2 steel wool or screen to break the surface tension for bonding with the next coat.
Do not use steel wool if applying a water-based urethane finish product. Vacuum, then double tack rag the floor. Subsequent coats should be applied in accordance with the finish manufacturers’ specifications. Do not abrade the final coat of finish. After applying the final coat, do not use the floor until finish manufacturers’ recommended cure time has elapsed. Avoid heavy traffic on the floor surface for at least one week.
Note: Avoid air currents that carry dust and dirt. Indoor temperatures and all sealers, paints and finishes should be approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit or higher during application. Allow adequate ventilation for proper drying. Maintain normal humidity conditions inside the facility to avoid blistering, flaking and abnormally long drying and cure times.
