READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE

STARTING PROJECT

SURFACE PREPARATION

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 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.

If the previous coating is well adhered, de-gloss the surface using 40-80 grit sandpaper, vacuum the surface and wipe down using urethane grade MEK prior to application.

WARNING!

If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from any surface, you may release lead paint dust. LEAD IS

TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE

SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE;

ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN

SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-

424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

CONCRETE PREPARATION – For coating over bare concrete

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 (sold separately) 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.

Once completed, rinse and squeegee the 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. Allow the floor to dry thoroughly.

Rub your fingers over the dry floor. If dust or powder comes off on your fingers, repeat scrubbing and rinsing until the floor is clean. Note: If the floor is not thoroughly cleaned and rinsed, the coating may not adhere properly.

Wood Preparation: Using 80 grit sandpaper, sand the wood surface to remove mill glaze, sealers and/or varnishes. Vacuum and wipe clean with a dry rag and allow to dry completely before coating.

Tile Preparation: Using 60-80 grit sandpaper, completely deglaze the surface. Vacuum and clean the surface with a solvent. Allow to dry completely before coating.

MIXING

MIX ONLY ONE POUCH AT A TIME. Both components and the environment should be pre-conditioned to a minimum of

40ºF (4ºC) prior to use. Be sure the air and surface temperatures are at least 5º above the dew point.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)

MIXING (cont.)

Place a tarp on the ground and thoroughly mix the material in the pouch by shaking it both up and down and back and forth and squeezing each side of the pouch. Any clumps need to be massaged to break them up to ensure proper blending.

Combine the two components by placing the pouch on the ground and rolling it from the part A side towards the part B side like a tube of toothpaste. This will create pressure in the part A side and force the middle seal to burst, allowing the two components to mix together. Thoroughly mix the materials by shaking the pouch back and forth and squeezing the edges and corners toward the center of the pouch. Mix for 2-3 minutes. Mix only one pouch at a time.

The product is now activated and must be applied 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once the material is thoroughly mixed, use scissors to cut a corner off the pouch and pour the contents into a 5 quart mixing bucket (sold separately). Add the RockSolid Metallic Additive (2 oz.) to the bucket. Mix with a drill motor and mixing blade or stir stick for 3-5 minutes.

APPLICATION

Apply only when air, material and floor temperatures are between 40-90°F (4-32°C). Optimal installation temperature is 55-90°F (13-32°C). Extreme cold application temperatures may slow the cure time. Do not apply in direct sunlight.

Do not coat the floor if it is raining or if extremely damp conditions exist. The concrete surface must be completely dry at the time of the application to achieve proper adhesion.

Pour the mixed material from the bucket directly onto the floor about a foot from the back corner wall in 4” wide ribbons, about 5’ long.

Trim the edges from the poured ribbon of material using a good quality synthetic brush. Roll out the material in 5x5 foot sections for a desired spread rate of 100-125 square feet.

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 not bare spots, and will give the coating an opaque appearance once dry.

Repeat mixing and application process for each additional pouch.
