5 Instructions
General Surface Prep
Surface should be dry, clean and free of waxes, sealers or finishes.
New installations need to dry 48 hours before application. Protect
surrounding surfaces. Test product in an inconspicuous area to ensure
desirable results.
Exterior applications must meet moisture conditions - read CUSTOM
Technical Bulletin 49 for details.
Application of Product
USE CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES, such as nitrile, when
handling product.
Read entire label before using. Apply using either a paint pad
applicator, sponge or brush. Allow it to penetrate for up to 5 minutes.
Wipe surface completely dry using clean, dry cotton, paper or
microfiber towels after each application. Porous surfaces may require
additional applications. Conduct a test to see if surface is completely
sealed after 2 hours by applying drops of water on the surface. If it
penetrates, apply an additional coat.
Pre-Grout Sealer/Grout Release
Porous tile and stone can be stained by grout during installation.
Sealing the tile before grouting will make grout removal much easier.
Apply sealer according to directions after tile has been bonded for a
minimum of 24 hours, or apply to front face of tile before installation.
Wait a minimum of 2 hours before grouting.
Drying Time
Allow 30 minutes drying time between applications.
Ready for surface traffic in 2 hours.
