Coverage rate is approximately 150 square feet per gallon. Coverage rates may vary based on concrete texture, surface porosity, and application method.

NOTE: Only apply Vibrance™ when surface temperature is between 40 °F (4 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C).

CAUTION: Acetone is extremely 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 Vibrance™, 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.

Step 1: Preparation

• Newly poured concrete must cure for 30 days before application.
• Cover areas at risk of over-spray with plastic drop cloth.
• For existing concrete:
  
• • Remove paint or previously applied sealer using Soy Gel Stripper.
  • Remove carpet glue or other adhesives using Bean-E-Doo® Mastic Remover.
  • Remove any oils, dirt, debris, Soy Gel Stripper, and Bean-E-Doo® Mastic Remover using scrub brush and ProClean Degreaser™.
• Verify absorption by pouring a cup of water in various areas. If not absorbed within five minutes, etch surface with CitrusEtch™, then neutralize surface with ProClean Neutralizer™ and rinse thoroughly.
• Allow concrete to thoroughly dry before application.

Step 2: Application

Mixing:

• Mix Ratio: 152 grams of Vibrance™ powder with one gallon of acetone makes one gallon of Vibrance™
• Pour Vibrance™ into a can of acetone.
• Tightly seal lid and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
• Allow mixture to sit for one hour.
• Remove all filters from Acetone Dye Sprayer.
• Shake Vibrance™ well before pouring into sprayer.

Spraying:

• Begin spraying at a far corner to maintain a clear path to exit.
• Spray Vibrance™ on surface in slightly circular motions with irregular overlaps.
  • Shake sprayer tank from side to side often to prevent color from settling.
  • Spray thin coats to avoid puddling.
• To develop deeper color, apply additional coats (maximum of four thin coats).
  • Allow eight hours between coats.
  • Apply additional coats following same method.
  • Dry for at least eight hours before applying a sealer.
  • Use a dust mop or microfiber mop very lightly to remove excess Dye not bonded to surface.

Step 3: Seal & Protect Finish

• Apply two thin coats of sealer with AcquaSeal™ or EasySeal™.
  • For interior only: Also apply two thin coats of ProWax Polish™.
• For additional application instructions see AcquaSeal™, EasySeal™, and ProWax Polish™ How-To Guides.

Pro Tips:

• To avoid droplets dripping onto surface: before releasing sprayer trigger, immediately place tip in a bucket
• For porous or weathered surfaces, apply a single thin coat of AcquaSeal™ or EasySeal™ before using Vibrance™.

Cleanup:

Maintenance:
