READ AND FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS: Surfaces must
be clean, dry and sound. Contaminants such as dirt,
dust, grease, wax, oil, soap lm, rust, mold, mildew, bond
breakers and curing compounds must be removed be-
fore application. Loose, chipping and peeling of previ-
ous coating must be removed before application. Repair
holes and cracks with an appropriate patching material.
Clean surfaces with bleach solution [one (1) part bleach
to four (4) parts water] and a stiff bristle brush. If mildew
is present, treat with a mildew remover. Rinse with clean
water and let dry one (1) to two (2) days before applica-
tion. Do not apply to damp surfaces or when surface tem-
perature is below 50°F (10°C) or above 100°F (37°C). Do
not apply if rain is prevalent. Do not thin.
SLIPPERY WHEN WET: If the surface to be coated is
exposed to water from rain, sprinklers, pools or by other
means or if the surface is an inclined plane, such as a
ramp or if concrete steps are being coated, Dyco rec-
ommends mixing SKID GARD #45 at 0.2lbs per gallon.
If SKID GARD #45 is not available, see your paint spe-
cialist for a recommendation of a suitable aggregate to
be used at 0.2lbs per gallon. Stir vigorously to suspend
SKID GARD #45 in the container before application.
PREPARING NEW AND PREVIOUSLY COATED SURFAC-
ES: Allow new exterior concrete to cure a minimum of 30
days and a minimum of 45 days for new interior concrete
before application. Pressure cleaning is recommended
if possible. Acid etching is not required. For previously
coated surfaces, use DYCO TUFF GRIP as a bonding
primer.
TINTING: Tint appropriate tint bases with approved colo-
rants. Factory-tinted colors cannot be re-tinted unless in-
dicated on label as tintable. When selecting colors, dark
colors are better for high trafc areas and light colors
are preferable for foot trafc areas such as patios, pool
decks and walkways since light colors are cooler.
APPLICATION: Apply rst coat DYCO #9040 TUFF GRIP
Bonding Primer. Allow eight (8) hours before applying the
EPOXY-TITE. EPOXY-TITE is a two (2) coat process. Ap-
ply rst coat evenly with a medium nap roller, brush or
airless sprayer. Do not leave puddles or roller marks.
