Application
Surface Preparation:The concrete surface should be clean and free of standing water, sealer, or other materials that could hinder adhesion. Ensure the surface is prepared properly before application.
For Fresh Concrete
- Apply uniformly by spraying between 250-350 sq ft per gallon. Although spraying is recommended for best results, roller application is possible using a short-napped, solvent-resistant sleeve—care should be taken to avoid air entrapment.
- For an extra high gloss or on especially porous surfaces, a second thin coat may be applied at 400 sq-ft per gallon after 1-3 hours, or once the surface is dry to the touch.
For Existing Concrete
- Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Pressure washing with a strong alkaline detergent is advised to remove dirt, waxes, and oils.
- Worn or porous areas might require a second coat for uniform sealing and appearance.
- Apply multiple thin coats (300 400 sq ft per gallon) rather than a single heavy one to achieve a harder, more durable finish. Dry times vary with temperature and humidity.
