Step 6 · Step 6: The Final Cure for Long-Term Protection

After your final coat, it's time to let the finish fully cure. While it might feel dry to the touch in a few hours, a full cure gives the finish its ultimate hardness and durability. This can take several days to a week. For your family's safety, avoid heavy foot traffic during this period. Once fully cured, your beautifully protected treads are ready to provide years of service and peace of mind.
