How to Use
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.
