Use and Care Manual
PREMIUM PROJECT SEALER INSTRUCTIONS
Weather Conditions: Apply during moderate temperatures when humidity and dew point levels are low. If it is expected
to rain within 24 hours of application, postpone your project until weather conditions improve. If you need to store the
product until a later date do not store in direct sunlight/high temperatures or allow the product to freeze. For more specific
details please contact us by phone or email listed below.
Clean and Prep: Gently brush out any stains with a soft bristle brush or rag using a mild soap. If you plan on pressure
washing, make sure to remove stains first. Once the surface is clean, make sure to let it dry for at least 24 hours. This
will allow the sealer to absorb deep into the surface for maximum protection. Think of your surface as a sponge. A wet
sponge will not be able to absorb as much as a dry sponge.
Protect anything you don’t want sealed by moving it out of the way or covering it with a tarp or drop cloth (including your
and/or the neighbors car). All Rainguard Premium Project Sealers are eco-friendly and safe for people, pets, and plants.
A small amount of overspray on your plants or grass will not affect them. However, sometimes large leaf plants will
show droplets from overspray, so you may want to move or cover them up before application.
Mixing: READY TO USE products (white bottle) can be shaken lightly before use to disperse any settled material.
CONCENTRATES (black bottle) are the best value and mixing is simple.
1. For Eco-Pods or concentrates that make 1 gallon, empty the contents directly into a 1 gallon hand pump garden
sprayer and fill with clean water. Mix lightly to disperse the material.
2. For the quart concentrate that “makes 2 gallons”, empty the contents of the quart into an empty 5 gallon pail then add
clean water to the 2 gallon mark. Mix lightly. Note
: If there is no 2 gallon mark visible, first add 2 gallons of water into the
empty 5 gallon pail and mark the water level with a sharpie marker.
3. For the quart that “makes 5 gallons”, empty the contents of the quart into an empty 5 gallon pail then fill with clean
water. Mix lightly.
Application: Always apply at least 2 (two) heavy coats of sealer to your surface. Older surfaces may require more than
two coats, depending on surface porosity. Once the first coat is dry to the touch apply the second saturation coat. When
the second coat is completely dry you can now put any decor, furniture etc. back on the treated surface.
Vertical Surfaces: Spray starting at the top of the surface allowing the product to saturate and drip heavily before
moving onto the next spot. Slowly spray in a horizontal cross hatch motion, maintaining at least a 6-inch drip or run
down.
Horizontal Surfaces: Spray the product until it starts to pool up slightly. You will know enough is applied in any given
spot when the product starts to pool (puddle) up with a milky-white color. Although the puddling will dissipate slowly into
the pores, you may wish to back roll or brush out puddles for a faster dry time.
For small areas such as bannisters: USING A BRUSH IS NOT RECOMMENDED. You may use a 1/4” nap roller,
making sure the roller is soaking wet and apply 3 coats per one spray coat (meaning a total of 6 coats rolled to equal
two coats sprayed).
IMPORTANT: Avoid letting any water come in contact with your newly sealed surface for 24 hours. After full cure time is
