Rust-Oleum

Decorative Concrete Coating is a ready-to-use coating

formulated for use on interior or exterior concrete surfaces such as

patios, walkways, pool decks, basements and laundry rooms. When

applied with the unique Rust-Oleum applicator, Decorative Concrete

Coating creates an aesthetic multi-color finish that enhances the

appearance of any concrete surface. It is easily applied in one step

and provides excellent protection to concrete surfaces. This weather

resistant coating resists fading and peeling. Not recommended for

use on garage floors or driveways.

.PRODUCT APPLICATION .

SURFACE PREPARATION

BARE CONCRETE: Proper surface preparation is critical to

performance. Allow new concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days.

Remove any oil spots or spills and wash the floor with EpoxyShield

Heavy-Duty Degreaser (sold separately) or a suitable detergent or

degreasing solution and rinse. Then etch the floor using Rust-Oleum

Concrete Etch (sold separately). For best results when using the

Concrete Etch, the concrete should be damp, but free of puddles.

Mix the entire contents of the Concrete Etch granules with 2 gallons

(3.79 l) of water. Use a plastic sprinkling can to evenly distribute the

Concrete Etch solution.

Scrub the floor with a stiff bristle brush and make sure the floor stays

wet during this process until you are ready to rinse. Continue to scrub

while rinsing to ensure all contaminates are washed away. Squeegee

off excessive water or puddles and allow to dry completely.

Completely wash, rinse, and squeegee each section before moving

on to the next. When all the sections have been completed in this

manner, then re-rinse and squeegee the entire floor. When the floor

is dry, rub your fingers on the concrete and check for a white film. If a

white dust or powder is detected, then repeat the rinsing process

being sure to thoroughly scrub during the rinse. Once the concrete is

free of surface residue, you are ready to begin application of the

coating.

PREVIOUSLY COATED FLOORS: Make sure the floor is clean and

dry. Use a wire brush to remove any loose or peeling paint or stain.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may

release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact the U.S.EPA/Lead

Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to

www.epa.gov/lead. If the floor is sealed, the sealer will have to be

removed by grinding or shot blasting. Rinse or sweep away dust and

other particles. To ensure proper adhesion, scuff sand the entire

surface.

..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .

APPLICATION

The Rust-Oleum® applicator tool (sold separately), must be used to

apply the Decorative Concrete Coating to ensure proper adhesion

and to attain proper texture. Rust-Oleum

Decorative Concrete

Coating is ready to use. Do not thin. Apply only when air, material,

and surface temperatures are between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC) and the

relative humidity is below 85%. The surface temperature should be at

least 5ºF (3ºC) above the dew point. Thoroughly mix each container

to re-disperse any settled pigment. Product may thicken in the can.

Stir thoroughly before and during application. If using more than one

gallon, intermix (box) all cans of the same product to ensure color

uniformity. Do not paint outdoors in direct sunlight or if rain is

expected within 48 hours.

Pour a small amount of product directly onto the surface. Apply in 4x4

foot sections, and back roll in the opposite direction to prevent lap

marks and to ensure an even coat. Roll slowly and apply light

pressure. A single coat can be applied, but a second coat is

recommended to provide optimum coverage, durability and abrasion

resistance. Note: Painted floors may be slippery when wet.

DRY & RECOAT TIMES

Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative humidity.

Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Allow 2-4 hours between

coats. Surface should be ready for foot traffic in 24 hours. For full cure

allow 7 days.

CLEAN-UP

Wash tools and equipment with warm water and a mild detergent

immediately after use. Properly dispose of all soiled rags and protect

unused product from freezing.

COVERAGE

Each gallon covers up to 125 square feet on smooth, bare concrete.

Very rough or porous surfaces will require more material.
