Prepare Your Surface

Remove any leaves, twigs, rock or other loose particles from the surface with a leaf blower or broom.
-
Consider protecting any finish surfaces near the project by using 48” masking film and blue painter’s tape to secure the film to surrounding surfaces.
-
Clean the surface using a pressure washer (3000 psi), or a garden hose and stiff bristle brush, to remove any dirt or accumulated grime. Saturate the surface with water before moving on to the next step.

Mix 1 part SCR : 2 parts water and pour into a pump-up sprayer.
-
Spray across entire surface and use a stiff bristle brush to work the material down into the substrate.

Ensure the surface remains partially damp during the process to allow for good penetration.
-
Rinse with water to neutralize the surface and allow to dry before moving on to the next step.
Color and Seal Your Surface

Mechanically mix with “Jiffy” style mixer blade for 3 minutes at medium speed for complete dispersal of pigments.

Cut in edges using a small roller or brush to create a clean line and avoid getting material onto surrounding surfaces.
-
Use a traditional 9” roller to apply a coat across the entire area. roll and back roll as necessary to eliminate roller marks and create a uniform coat. Do not allow puddling.

When first coat is able to be walked on (24 hours), it may receive a second coat. To accomplish complete and even color coverage apply a second coat. Customarily two thin coats achieve best performance.
-
Allow 24 hours of curing time before foot traffic.
