Step 1: Preparation
- Cover areas at risk of over-spray with plastic drop cloth.
- Remove oils, dirt, or debris using scrub brush and ProClean Degreaser™.
- Allow sealer to thoroughly dry before application.
Step 2: Application
Coverage rate is approximately 200 square feet per gallon. Coverage rates may vary based on concrete texture, surface porosity, and application method.
NOTE: Only apply Acrylic Sealer Repair when surface temperature is between 40°F (4°C) and 95°F (35°C).
CAUTION: Acrylic Sealer Repair is flammable, harmful if swallowed, or inhaled. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store and use with adequate ventilation, allowing airflow to disperse vapors. Before applying Acrylic Sealer Repair, open windows and doors and extinguish all open flames such as gas appliance pilot lights, candles, etc. Do not smoke, use a lighter or matches, or anything that could cause a potential spark.
Option 1: Spraying (preferred method)
- Remove all filters from pump-up sprayer.
- Begin spraying at a far corner to maintain a clear path to exit.
- Spray Acrylic Sealer Repair on surface in slightly circular motions with irregular overlaps.
- Spray thin coats to avoid puddling.
- Allow eight hours for Concrete Acrylic Sealer Repair to re-emulsify sealer and evaporate.
- Use a thumbnail to see if coat dents or scratches; if so, allow more time to cure.
Option 2: Rolling
- Pour Acrylic Sealer Repair into paint tray.
- Use a 3/8th nap roller to apply Acrylic Sealer Repair on surface.
- Saturate affected area and continue rolling until sealer becomes tacky.
- Do not apply pressure to roller as this will cause streaking (let weight of roller do the work).
- Once sealer is tacky, allow eight hours for Acrylic Sealer Repair to re-emulsify sealer and evaporate.
- Use a thumbnail to see if coat dents or scratches; if so, allow more time to cure.
WAIT UNTIL CURED:
- 16 hours before foot traffic or placing heavy furniture
- 32 hours at before driving over surface or allowing parked vehicles
