Usage Summary

Preparation & Prime

New and Uncoated Concrete or Masonry Surfaces:

• New concrete must cure for a minimum of 30 days.
• For proper penetration and adhesion of topcoat, use a concrete & masonry cleaner and etcher to clean and etch the surface. Remove mildew stains with a mildew stain removing product. Follow all label instructions.
• Apply a product such as BEHR PREMIUM Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer No. 880 to increase adhesion of topcoat to the surface. Follow all label instructions.

Painted, Stained or Sealed Concrete:

• Option 1- To completely strip the entire surface, use a concrete & masonry paint stripper product.
• Option 2- To recoat over an existing coating, remove any loose or peeling paint and scuff sand the surface.
• Clean previously coated surfaces in sound condition.
• Clean and etch any bare concrete surface.
• Spot prime all uncoated areas with a product such as BEHR PREMIUM Concrete & Masonry Bonding Primer No. 880 to increase adhesion of topcoat to the surface. Follow all label instructions.

Application

• DO NOT THIN. Intermix all cans of same product to ensure color uniformity. Stir stain before and occasionally during application.
• Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C).
• Apply a thin, even coat using a 1/4"-3/8" nap roller cover, pad applicator or a nylon/polyester brush at a spread rate of 400-600 sq. ft. (37-56 m2) per gallon. Use long, even strokes in one direction to avoid lap lines.
• Since concrete varies in texture/porosity, two coats may be required for uniform color appearance. Apply a second coat (in a criss-cross direction) if uniformity is needed. Recoat after 2-4 hours. Periodic touch-ups may be necessary.

Dry Time

• Longer dry time required in cooler temperatures and in higher humidity.
• Allow 24 hours for light foot traffic.
• Park tires on corrugated cardboard for 14 days after applying stain. After two weeks, dry stained surface may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent.
