PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
SURFACE PREPARATION
Moisture Testing - New concrete should be allowed to cure
for 30 days before application of any coating. If there is any
doubt about the dryness of the concrete, conduct a test by
simply taping a piece of 4 mil plastic sheet 18x18” on the
bare concrete for 24 hours. Be sure to tape all four sides.
After 24 hours, check the concrete for signs of moisture.
The concrete substrate will be darker if damp. If moisture is
found, allow additional drying time (10-14 days) and repeat
the test.
Testing for Sealer - Check for curing compounds or other
types of sealers by pouring a small amount of water onto the
concrete. If water soaks in, the surface is suitable for
coating. If water beads up on the concrete, the surface is
not porous and a test application is warranted to ensure
proper adhesion will develop. Sanding or mechanical
abrading may be required if proper adhesion does not
develop.
Previously Coated Floors - Previously coated floors need
to be in good condition with proper adhesion to the concrete
substrate. Check the adhesion of the previous coating by
cutting a small X in the coating using a sharp razor knife.
Firmly apply a piece of 5” duct tape over the center of the X
cut, and then pull off with a fast snap. If more than 10% of
the taped area is removed, the original coating is not
bonded well and needs to be removed chemically or
mechanically with a grinder.
If the previous coating is well adhered, de-gloss the surface
using 40-80 grit sandpaper, vacuum the surface and wipe
down using urethane grade MEK prior to application.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from
any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS
TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE;
ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN
SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH
approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up
carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you
start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by
contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-
424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
CONCRETE PREPARATION – For coating over bare
concrete
Scrub heavily soiled areas with RockSolid Heavy Duty
Degreaser or Rust-Oleum Cleaner & Degreaser (sold
