Once a floor has fully cured it can be subjected to long-term normal wear and tear without having to worry excessively about damaging it. Your floors will be durable enough to move in way before the fully cured time. Dry time allows us to have access to the floors in-between coats. With water based finishes we can do 2 coats on the same day in some circumstances. After the final coat is completed, we strongly suggest that there is no traffic on the floors for a full 24 hours. This will allow the completed finish to dry sufficiently enough to allow walking on it without damaging it.

The hardwax oil we recommend Pallmann Magic Oil is fully cured in 24 hours. It is the fastest natural cured site applied floor finish available.

This will give ample time for the solvents etc. We just had our hardwood floors refinished and are planning to move the furniture back 3 days after the last water based polyurethane coat is applied. Can we use hand trucks on ram board covered floors to replace furniture with felt pads? We use an AirSled to move heavy furniture back but not everyone has access to one. Take your time, make sure the floor is super clean before laying the Ram Board down and use soft wheeled dollys vs hard wheeled ones if possible.

Dry time is the amount of time that passes until you could press your hand against the floor, and not have to worry about leaving an imprint in the surface. For water-based finishes, the recommended wait time is hours. For hard wax oils, this increases to hours. The benefit of the dry time is that it allows us to access our floors in between coats. For example, with water-based finishes , you can complete multiple coats in a single day. However, you still have to remain cautious with your floor in these stages.
The floors are still very susceptible to External dirts that can be stuck to your shoes, as-well as whatever else can be brought in to the house. The cure time, is simply the amount of time it takes for all of the solvents and liquids to fully vanish from the surface, for the fumes and other smells to stop, as-well as the surface of the floor fully hardening.
