Preparation (Proper surface preparation is required)

• All surfaces must be clean, sound, dry, and free of any dirt, oil, and grease.
• New concrete must cure for a minimum of 30 days.
• Use a paint stripper (follow all manufacturer’s label instructions) to remove any previous coatings or sealers.
• Clean and etch surface using a product such as a muriatic acid etcher (follow all manufacturer’s label instructions) to achieve a textured profile similar to 150 grit sandpaper.
• Wipe your fingers over the clean, dry floor to check for dust or powder. Ensure there is no residue on your fingers that may have been left from the etcher.
• If residue is found, rinse the surface to remove residue. Allow the surface to dry completely.
• Test: Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface.
• If water is quickly absorbed and the surface feels like 150 grit sandpaper, the surface is ready.
• If not, re-etch and follow all manufacturer’s label instructions.

Application

• DO NOT THIN.
• Stir or shake before applying.
• Use product when air and surface temperature is between 50-90° F (10-32° C).
• Do not apply in direct sunlight, on wet surfaces, or if rain/heavy dew is expected within 24 hours.
• Apply using a high-quality pump sprayer, 1/4" - 3/8" nap roller, synthetic brush, or a pad applicator until saturated. Multiple coats may be necessary on very porous surfaces. Apply within 24 hours of initial application.
• DO NOT ALLOW PRODUCT TO POOL. Remove any puddles by spreading product to drier areas, back rolling using a nap roller, or by wiping up excess with a clean cloth before it dries to touch.
• On vertical surfaces, apply from the bottom up and saturate well. Avoid dripping and clean up any excess with a clean cloth before it dries to touch.
• Improper surface preparation, insufficient drying, or over-application can result in a milky white appearance and/or film tackiness.

Dry Time

• Longer dry time required in cooler temperatures and in higher humidity.
• Water and stain repellency starts to develop within 24 hours.
• Allow 24-72 hours before subjecting surface to automotive tires, heavy foot traffic, or repositioning furniture.
• Wait at least 30 days before rinsing or cleaning.

Disposal

• Properly dispose of all soiled applicators and rags after use and protect unused product from freezing.
• For disposal of empty containers and unused product, contact your household refuse collection service.
