- Clean Up
Uncured material should be removed with an environmentally-safe solvent.; Cured material should be removed mechanically.
- Coverage
Will vary depending on the surface.; Up to 400 square feet per gallon on a smooth surface and between 200-300 square feet per gallon on a rough surface.
- Dry Time
For best results, allow the product 4-6 hours drying time at 70 degrees before permitting light pedestrian traffic or additional coats are applied.; Allow 24 hours to cure before heavy traffic is permitted.; Allow 48 hours before heavy objects are placed on the surface and allow 72 hours for vehicular traffic.; Allow 5 days prior to any abrasion or chemical exposure.
- Moisture
All concrete should be tested for moisture before applying a seamless coating.. If moisture emissions exceed 5 lbs/1000 square feet/24 hours (ASTM F1869) or if the relative humidity (RH) exceeds 75% (ASTM F2170), contact the manufacturer before application.
- Thinning
The material may be thinned by adding up to a maximum of one quart of water per gallon, for the first coat.. For best results, it is not recommended to thin the final coat.
