Prep and test

Start clean and dry. Which one is your floor?

Just stained?

  • Let the stain dry completely.
  • Give it a light vacuum or broom, careful not to scratch the stain.

Old concrete or pavers?

  • Clean with ProClean Degreaser™, then rinse until no residue is left.
  • Let it dry for at least 24 hours.
  • New concrete? Wait at least 28 days.

Then do the water test

Pour a little water on bare or worn concrete. It must soak in within 3–5 minutes.

Soaks in

You’re ready to seal.

Beads up

There’s an old sealer. EasySeal™ only goes over a solvent-based sealer, so strip any other kind first.

Sits on top

Etch it with CitrusEtch™, then test again.

No tape on the surface: the adhesive keeps the sealer from bonding.

Use it in a well-ventilated area. Indoors, only in empty, unoccupied spaces.

2

Apply the first coat

A 3/8″ nap roller with a solvent-resistant core, or a sprayer.

  1. Seal when the slab is between 40 and 95°F. Not sure? Check it with an infrared thermometer.
  2. Ideally, seal in the early evening. Morning dew and midday sun can cause bubbles and haze.
  3. Pour the sealer into the tray and roll on a thin first coat.
  4. Start in the far corner and plan your way out. Keep a wet edge and never let it puddle.
Thin and evenPuddlesDon’t dilute

Roll it, or spray it

Roll a thin coat
Spray, then back roll

Prefer to spray? Use a sprayer rated for solvents, with a fan tip, and back roll right away. A regular garden sprayer won’t give you a fine mist.

3

Dry and recoat

Wait 6 to 12 hours, until your thumb doesn’t leave a fingerprint.

Then roll on a second thin coat crosswise to the first. Two thin coats, no more.

Around pools?Add OxiGrip™ Anti-Slip to the second, final coat only, for slip resistance.
Clean your tools while they’re wetUse xylene while the sealer is still wet.

Read the label and the safety sheet (SDS) before you start, and test a small area first.

Before You Checkout

EasyTint™ and OxiGrip™ are not compatible when used together directly. For slip resistance, use EasyTint™ as the color layer and apply OxiGrip™ only with a clear solvent based sealer as the topcoat.

Before You Checkout

AcquaTint™ and OxiGrip™ are not compatible when used together directly. If you need added slip resistance, apply AcquaTint™ as your color layer first, then use OxiGrip™ in a clear topcoat with AcquaSeal™ or HydroCryl™.
