On interior projects, the most common sealer is water based acrylic. The recommended method of application is by roller. An airless sprayer may be used, but not a pump sprayer.
When rolling, be sure to wrap your roller cover with masking tape to remove loose lint and fibers.
With all sealers, read and understand all product information prior to use. This includes drying times, application methods, and health concerns.
On many interior floors, a last step of applying a floor finish is strongly recommended in order to create a high gloss and easy maintenance floor.
Remember to use a finish mop, and consider applying up to six thin coats for a great shine and excellent protection.
