Hydro-Force Wood Finish in Satin (CW033GL) is a water-based hardwood preservation finish that hardwood floor refinishers and restoration pros apply as a protective wear coat over an existing urethane finish. Sold as a 4x1 gallon case, this low-solids blend of urethane and acrylic lays down a fresh satin sheen and takes the daily wear, extending the life of the original finish without a full sand-and-recoat.
Use Cases
Maintenance recoats. Refresh and protect hardwood in offices, retail, hospitality and homes by adding a wear coat instead of refinishing.
Preserving an existing finish. The coat serves as the sacrificial wear layer, taking foot traffic so the original urethane underneath lasts longer.
Low-odor occupied spaces. The non-toxic, water-based formula suits facilities that stay in use.
How to Apply
Thoroughly clean the floor and prepare the base finish first. About 30 minutes before applying, gently rock the container to mix the ingredients. Apply with a dampened flat mop using a clean cotton terry or microfiber cover, working a small 4 to 5 foot area at a time and starting from the point furthest from your exit. Let the first coat dry naturally for roughly 45 minutes, then apply a second coat. If an additional coat is desired, allow about one hour. Note: this finish is not freeze/thaw stable, so store and ship it accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It is a preservation wear coat designed to go over an existing, properly cleaned urethane finish, not a stand-alone sealer for bare wood.

Apply a first coat, let it dry naturally about 45 minutes, then apply a second coat. Allow about one hour before any additional coat.
What do I use to apply it?
A dampened flat mop with a clean cotton terry or microfiber cover works well. Prep and clean the floor first.
How big is the 4x1 gallon case?
The CW033GL case contains four 1-gallon bottles for larger floor jobs.
Does it need to be protected from freezing?
Yes. This finish is not freeze/thaw stable, so keep it from freezing in storage and transit.
