CONDITIONS PRIOR TO COATING .
NEWLY POURED CONCRETE
If newly poured concrete has not fully cured, the coating
will not perform properly. Allow newly poured concrete to
cure for a minimum of 28 days before coating.
Moisture Testing - New concrete should be allowed to
cure for 30 days before application of any coating. If there
is any doubt about the dryness of the concrete, conduct a
test by simply taping a piece of 4 mil plastic sheet 18x18”
on the bare concrete for 24 hours. Be sure to tape all four
sides. After 24 hours, check the concrete for signs of
moisture. The concrete substrate will be darker if damp. If
moisture is found, allow additional drying time (10-14
days) and repeat the test.
Testing for Sealer - Check for curing compounds or other
types of sealers by pouring a small amount of water onto
the concrete. If water soaks in, the surface is porous
enough for coating. If water soaks in, the surface is
suitable for coating. If water beads up on the concrete, the
surface is not porous and a test application is warranted to
ensure proper adhesion will develop. Sanding or
mechanical abrading may be required if proper adhesion
does not develop.
Previously Coated Floors - Previously coated floors
need to be in good condition with proper adhesion to the
concrete substrate. Check the adhesion of the previous
coating by cutting a small X in the coating using a sharp
razor knife. Firmly apply a piece of 5” duct tape over the
center of the X cut, and then pull off with a fast snap. If
more than 10% of the taped area is removed, the original
coating is not bonded well and needs to be removed
chemically or mechanically with a grinder.
SURFACE PREPARATION .
Scrub heavily soiled areas with RockSolid Heavy Duty
Degreaser or Rust-Oleum Cleaner & Degreaser (sold
separately). Scrub thoroughly, then rinse. Repeat as
needed. Mix the concrete etch powder (included) with 2
gallons of water until dissolved. (DO NOT add concrete
etch directly to paint). The solution contains a mild citric
acid. (DO NOT use muriatic acid).
Pre-wet entire floor using a hose; then remove pooled
water. Use a plastic watering can to evenly distribute the
etch solution over a 10’ x 10’ section of floor. Scrub
vigorously with a bristle brush to loosen dirt and dust.
Keep the section wet until it has been etched and rinsed;
then move on to the next section.
