Step-by-step process
Step 1
After the surface is cleaned and prepped, apply a thin coat of BEHR PREMIUM® Low-Lustre Sealer with either a nylon-polyester brush, 1/4 - 3/8" nap roller, high quality pad applicator, or a high quality pump sprayer with an adjustable tip.
TIP: The spread rate is 200-450 sq ft per gal. Use when air and surface temperatures are between 50-80 degrees F.
Step 2
If the sealer is sprayed, then back roll for uniform thickness. For added durability, additional coats (no more than 4) may be applied.
TIP: Annual touch up may be required in areas subject to tire traffic.
Step 3
The sealer will dry to the touch in 1 hour. Allow the first coat to dry for 4 hrs. before deciding if a second coat is needed.
Step 4
Be sure that the surface is fully cured before use. Allow 24 hours for light foot traffic. Allow 72 hours for heavy foot traffic and furniture. Allow 14 days before subjecting to automotive tires. Allow 30 days before rinsing and cleaning with a mild detergent.
