SURFACE PREPARATION: 

• Uncoated Concrete: All fully cured and uncoated concrete must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease, dirt or other foreign matter that could interfere with penetration and adhesion. Grease, release agents and dirt can be removed by scrubbing the surface with an Oil and Grease Emulsifier. Rinse well with clean water. To neutralize uncoated concrete, etch the surface with a concrete etching material or muriatic acid. Follow all label instructions carefully.
• Previously Coated Concrete: Remove all oil, grease, dirt or other foreign matter by scrubbing the surface with an Oil and Grease Emulsifier. Rinse well with clean water and allow it to dry. Previously coated surfaces should be tested with Concrete Stain & Waterproofing Sealer to determine coating compatibility so lifting of the old finish does not occur.

APPLICATION: Concrete Stain & Waterproofing Sealer may be applied by low pressure airless spray, roller or brush. Apply evenly in thin coats to avoid lap marks at 300-400 square feet per gallon. Allow the first coat to dry two hours then apply a second coat of Concrete Stain & Waterproofing Sealer. If a high sheen or additional durability is needed, spray-apply one or two coats of Insl-x ® CST-5100 Clear over the last coat of pigmented Concrete Stain & Waterproofing Sealer. CST-5100 Clear can be used separately as a clear sealer to reduce dusting and improve maintenance. This product is formulated to be applied without thinning. Do not thin if this would result in the product exceeding any VOC regulations in effect where it is being applied.

TO AVOID SOLVENT ENTRAPMENT, APPLY IN THIN COATS Do not apply when ambient, surface or material temperature is in excess of 90 °F Test all previously coated surfaces with Concrete Stain & Waterproofing Sealer to determine coating compatibility. This acrylic coating contains Xylene, which could cause lifting of some types of coatings.

• Do not use around open flame. Extinguish all pilot lights and do not smoke during application.
• Do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces as gas blisters can be created by the heat turning the solvent into a gas.
• When acid etching the surface, always add acid to water. Mix solution in a polyethylene bucket. Always wear protective clothing, boots, gloves and goggles.
