Can this product be used on painted wood stair treads in place of a urethane?

The torch works well, so does a small plumbing torch. Keep it moving and keep the flame away from the surface. Not recommended for amateurs. You can also blow on the surface. It's NOT the heat that releases the bubbles, it's the Carbon Dioxide.

I wouldn't recommend it. This is a pour on product. It takes 24 hours to cure to where you can touch it. You also need to use a creme brûlée torch after coating to get the air bubbles out that occur during the cure process.

I used it on the oak floors prior to selling my last home. I liked it. Can not put urethane over it through.

I don't see why not I've only used it on medel and rubber but I think it will do fine on wood as long as you spray evenly and do more then one coat. Hope this helps good luck.

Yes as long as it is dry and cured. I've used it on plastics, acrylics, urethanes, oil based varnishes and nitrocellulose lacquer as long as the material is fully dry and cured there is no problem.

I've used a type of tape on my wood entrance steps. For the most part it worked, until the 'grit' wore off within a month. Then I had to deal with scraping off the residue left behind. Instead of experiencing the same problem, I ordered handiramp's non slip aluminum treads - they have several sizes and doesn't require tape.

I used this on my wood stairs and it worked very well. I'm not sure what would work on carpet.

I don't know for sure. I used it on a cement floor that had been painted with epoxy paint. So, it will depend on what the solvent is and whether or not it will damage the plastic. You might be able to get this info from the manufacturer. If you do decide to buy the paint, you should first test on a small sample of the plastic before doing a large job.

I would think so, this is the strongest paint remover I have used. I have painted cars for over 30 years and it will remove urethanes.

If you have ground-in dirt in a finished wood floor, you may have damage to the finish. You could try, but the damage may not allow a full cleaning. This product is great for maintaining a good finish on polyurethaned wood floors.

I have used it on all the furniture and cabinets in the house. I don't think this is what you need for floors. I guess it depends on what type and finish too.

I use it on my Christmas rugs with good results. Also use it on carpeted steps.

From the label: "Polycare is safe for all polyurethane finished wood surfaces such as kitchen cabinets, handrails, stairs, moldings, etc. . . . contains no harsh solvents or soaps that can degrade the finish or leave a sticky film on the floor. Not recommended for waxed or wax impregnated floors." I'd risk it, I think. Stuff is great. I'd put on toast it's so good!

I used this to seal some painted wooden stairs with polyurethane. It works, but not as well as I would have like. I wanted a surface that was like light sand paper, but ended up with something a little more subtle. You can barely feel the grit in stocking feet, but it does give a little more traction than without.

Yes, you can use this on any type of flooring unless you have a special coating that might break down with steam.

Yes, if you follow the correct procedures for application. The work depends on how the surface absorbs the polyurethane. When I used it on oak, it took three coats sanding lightly with 220 grit sand paper between each coat. Use a tack cloth or clean damp cloth to wipe all dust off between coats. Best applied with a foam brush. Do not place in direct sunlight on a hot day to dry or the finish will bubble. And have fun!

Hi, Sorry to hear that, Yes, my experience was horrible with that product too. I tried getting rid of it just on one area (stairs) and I simply used a very hard-bristle metal brush. I don't really know if there are solvents or something better, I would ask @ home depot. Sorry.Hope you asked for a refund, I sent Rust-Oleum a dissatisfaction email and they refunded the product price. Not a complete consolation since the time & effort is more expensive, but it's something.

As long as you can get it to stick, you should be fine. We used this on the pipe from our wood stove back to the chimney to turn it from silver to black, so I'd imagine it would work in other locations. you might need to clean thoroughly and sand first though. Try it and see how it works. The key is this is high temperature resistant paint, so it wont bubble and burn off.
