IMPORTANT! These quantities are approximate and are for reference only. The required amount may vary
depending on the texture of the surface and the thickness of the coats applied.
Proper surface preparation is crucial. The concrete must be clean, dry and free of oil and contaminants.
CLEANING: Clean the surface using a concrete preparation. Rinse thoroughly and leave to dry for at least
48 hours. For stubborn oil stains, use a degreaser.
SANDING: Resurfacing with a polisher is by far the best surface preparation method, but it can be replaced
by sanding for most residential projects. Sand the surface using a sander fitted with 60-grit sandpaper in order
to remove old paint.
REMOVING DUST: Remove all dust from the surface using a shop vacuum. Remove all contaminants or fine
concrete dust from the surface.
FILLING CRACKS: Expand the cracks using a grinder in order to free up friable particles, and clean with the shop
vacuum. Use a concrete filler. TO/GO 100% solids epoxy can be applied 4 to 6 hours later.
