Natural stones such as limestone, slate, travertine, sandstone, flagstone, tumbled stone, flamed stone, textured stone, masonry, and concrete
Directions for Use
Make sure the surface is clean, free of waxes, coatings, and previous sealers, and is dry for 24 to 72 hours
Surface temperature should be between 50°F and 80°F
Ensure that the area is well-ventilated during application and until the surface is dry
Mask off any surfaces not intended to be treated
Liberally apply an even coat using a paint pad, roller, brush, or pump-up garden sprayer
Do not use a power sprayer, towel, or sponge for application
Do not thin before using. See Method of Application for more instructions
Allow sealer to penetrate the surface for 15–20 minutes. Denser material may require more time to penetrate
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS SEALER TO DRY ON SURFACE
Failure to remove excess sealer from the surface may result in residue that may need to be mechanically removed
Thoroughly wipe the surface with multiple dry cloths to remove all excess sealer
A second coat may be needed for more absorbent surfaces
If a darker appearance is required, sealer should be applied one hour after initial application, as directed in steps 2 through 4
Complete cure is achieved after 24–72 hours
Avoid foot traffic for 6–8 hours after application. If foot traffic must resume sooner, cover the floor with red rosin paper to protect it until a complete cure has been achieved
Red rosin paper is not needed to apply a second coat
Clean equipment with mineral spirits
Rags and equipment that are wet with product may be flammable
Clean up promptly after the job is complete
Clean equipment with mineral spirits and allow to dry in a well-ventilated area
Allow rags to dry in a well-ventilated area out of reach of children and pets
When dry, dispose of in accordance with local waste disposal regulations
Method of Application
For small jobs, use a paint pad, roller, or brush
For larger jobs, use a pump-up garden sprayer available at your local garden center, hardware store, or home improvement center
Do not use a power sprayer. Power sprayers create a significant amount of overspray, resulting in wasted product and the need for additional clean-up
A pump-up garden sprayer will reduce the potential for over-exposure to vapors and produce better results
Ensure that the area is well-ventilated during application and until the surface is dry to the touch
