Concrete Preparation* **

1. Remove oil spots with a scrub brush and a heavy duty degreaser (sold separately). Scrub thoroughly, then rinse.

Repeat as needed.

2. Mix concrete etch with 2 gallons of water until dissolved (DO NOT add concrete etch directly to paint). Solution

contains a mild citric acid (DO NOT use muriatic acid).

3. Pre-wet entire floor using a hose, then remove pooled water. Use a plastic watering can to evenly distribute etch

solution over a 10’ x 10’ section of floor. Scrub vigorously with a bristle brush to loosen dust and dirt. Keep the entire

section wet until it has been etched and rinsed, and then move on to the next section.

4. Once completed, rinse and squeegee entire floor to remove any traces of etch. DO NOT leave pooled water on the

floor. Etch will not discolor driveways or harm grass or plants, if rinsed thoroughly.

5. Rub your fingers over the dry floor. If dust or powder comes off on your fingers, repeat scrubbing and rinsing until floor

is clean. Allow floor to dry completely. Note: If floor is not thoroughly cleaned and rinsed, coating may not adhere

properly.

*Wood Preparation: Using 80 grit sandpaper, sand wood surface to remove mil glaze, sealers and or varnishes. Vacuum and wipe

clean with a dry rag before coating.

**Tile preparation: Using 60-80 grit sandpaper completely deglaze the surface. Vacuum and clean the surface with a solvent.

RockSolid Mixing

1. MIX ONLY ONE POUCH AT A TIME. Thoroughly mix material in the pouch by shaking it back and forth and

squeezing each side of pouch.

2. Combine the two components Part A and Part B by placing the pouch on the ground and rolling it from Part A side

towards Part B. The pressure created by rolling the pouch will force the middle seal to burst allowing the two

components to mix together.

3. Thoroughly mix the material by shaking the pouch back and forth and squeezing the edges and corners for 2-3

minutes.

4. The product is activated and must be applied within specified timeframes (see Application Chart).

5. Once the material is thoroughly mixed, use scissors to cut a corner off of the pouch and pour contents into mixing

bucket.

6. Add the metallic tint (included) to bucket. Mix with paddle mixer and drill for 3-5 minutes.

Note: Coated concrete produces a smoother surface and can become slippery when wet. For an increased slip-

resistant surface, it is recommended to install the RockSolid Clear Topcoat with anti-slip additive.

RockSolid Application & Instructions

If Temp is 40-75°F:

If Temp is 76-90°F:

Trim edges immediately after mixing

Roll immediately after mixing

Pot life after mixing: 1 hour

Pot life after mixing: 45 minutes

Best results: 12pm (or when temperatures are rising)

Best results: coat early morning (before 9AM)

1. Pour the mixed material from the pouch directly onto the floor about a foot from the back corner wall in 4” wide

ribbons, about 5’ long.

2. Trim the edges from the poured ribbon of material using a good quality synthetic brush.

3. Using the 3/8” polyamide roller cover (supplied) and 9” roller frame to apply coating evenly to floor in 5’ x 5’ sections in

an “M” and “W” pattern.

4. Continue working in 5’x 5’ sections, pouring a new ribbon 2’ away from previous section. Use the roller to pull the

material back first, then it can be pushed forward to fill in the void between sections. Overlap into previously coated

areas while taking care to avoid creating thick spots.

5. Once a strip across the entire back wall has been coated, use the roller to put circular patterns in the coating (like

applying wax to a car) to ensure there are no bare spots, and will give the coating an opaque appearance once dry.

6. Only one coat is necessary. Product must be used within the pot life indicated (see Application Chart) or gloss and

color may appear uneven.

7. Do not coat over control joints or roll over control joints. Use a flexible control joint fill material if desired.

8. Repeat the above steps for each additional pouch.

RockSolid Dry Time & Clean-up

1. Temperature and humidity may affect drying time. Do not walk on coating while it is still tacky. Surface should be

ready for foot traffic in 8-10 hours and vehicle traffic in 24-36 hours, depending upon temperature and humidity.

2. Clean tools and equipment with mineral spirits. Allow unused product to harden in container and discard according to

local regulations.
