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.

Stir or shake before applying.
