Where Not to Use

Preparation†

• For a painted surface in sound condition, use a product to clean and prepare the surface. 
• If the coating is failing or peeling, use a paint stripper to remove the old coating or scrape/sand down to a sound concrete surface. 
• Scuff sand glossy surfaces. 
• Clean and spot etch any exposed concrete. 
• Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry.

Application

• DO NOT THIN. Intermix all cans of the same product to ensure color uniformity.
• Stir before and occasionally during application.
• Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90° F. 
• Apply to dry concrete. Do not apply if rain or heavy dew is expected within 24 hours.
• Do not apply in direct sunlight.
• Tape off any adjacent areas and apply to the edges using a nylon/polyester brush.
• For hairline cracks up to 1/8”, completely fill in with coating using a brush and allow to dry completely prior to roller application.
• Apply an even first coat using a 1/4" adhesive roller cover or nylon/polyester brush.
• NOTE: The first coat will act as the base coat and it will not completely cover the surface by design. Avoid over application on the first coat.
• Apply from a roller tray or pour directly from the container
• NOTE: Pouring can help spread the coating quickly however it may reduce the overall spread rate.
• Work in areas approximately 3’ x 3’.
• Pour a circular (pancake style) shape with a 10” diameter of the working area.
• Spread from the center outwards, rolling in multiple directions to evenly distribute.
• For long, narrow areas, pour a strip about 3”-5” across the surface.
• Apply moderate pressure to the roller to push the coating outwards and even out the surface.
• Work quickly and overlap the previously coated areas to ensure full coverage.
• Avoid regular patterns and knock down hard edges using the roller.
• Allow first coat to dry then apply second coat in the same method as the first coat.
• While two coats are necessary, additional coats may help hide previous surface imperfections or cover over contrasting colors.
• For large projects, consider using a texture sprayer with a 4mm tip.
• Spray in 4’ x 4’ sections and back roll with ¼” adhesive roller cover.

Dry Time

• Longer dry time required in cooler temperatures and in higher humidity. 
• The floor may be subjected to light foot traffic after 24 hours. 
• Allow 72 hours before subjecting surface to automotive tires, heavy foot traffic or repositioning furniture. 
• Premature heavy traffic will cause paint failure requiring spot recoating.

Clean Up

• Soap & water clean-up.
• Wait at least 30 days before rinsing or cleaning. 
• Use a mild detergent as needed. 
• Abrasive cleaners and pressure-washers should be used carefully to avoid premature coating failure. 

Disposal

• Properly dispose of all soiled rags. 
• To recycle or properly dispose of product in your community, contact your household refuse collection service.
