IMPORTANT NOTE: Before use on a job, thoroughly test this product in an inconspicuous area to assure performance and appearance. Use only in well ventilated areas.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
Surface must be completely clean and dry to the touch. Remove all dirt, wax, old paints or sealers with appropriate cleaner, chemical stripper or abrasive blasting. If muriatic acid has been used the surface must be flushed with clean water and neutralized with a pH neutralizer. Muriatic acid is not recommend for cleaning concrete as it will discolor the surface, etch the concrete, and is hazardous to use. After cleaning, allow surface to dry 24 hours prior to sealer application. Allow new concrete to cure for at least 14 days before application of sealer.

THINNING:
Not required. Use as is.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT:
Satin Seal can be applied with a sponge, brush, roller, or most types of spray equipment. For small areas, a pump-up garden sprayer is convenient, however, do not allow the lacquer to dry on the spray tip. If this occurs, soak tip in lacquer thinner and clean with stiff brush.

Brush ................................. synthetic bristle brush.
Roller ........................... "1/2" nap lambs wool roller.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
One coat will seal, protect and enhance the beauty of the surface, Additional coats will give more protection and higher gloss. If a second coat is desired, apply as soon as the first coat is dry to the touch.

Porous Surfaces - paver brick, flagstone, Mexican clay tile, etc.
Generally, one coat will provide complete protection. A second coat will provide added protection and higher gloss. To strengthen old, porous and crumbling surfaces additional applications may be required.

Dense Surfaces - slate, limestone, stone, concrete tile, etc.
One light to moderate coat supplies complete protection and a high gloss finish. More than one coat for dense surfaces is not recommended.

Do not apply Satin Seal during inclement weather or in direct sunlight when temperature exceeds 80°F. Application to a damp surface or incompletely cured concrete may cause a hazy appearance or loss of adhesion. Air and surface temperature should be between 50° and 90°F for 24 hours following application.

Water Penetration Test:
To insure that the application provides proper protection apply this test. Sprinkle a small amount of water on the sealed surface. If water penetration occurs or if water does not bead up on the surface, apply additional sealer. This test should be performed for each applied coat.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Over application and excess sealer should not be allowed to pool or puddle. Wipe up any pools immediately
