For METAL SURFACES, use a wire brush or sandpaper to remover rust and scale from the surface to be protected.
Surfaces may be shot blasted or abraded using a wire wheel for best results. All dirt, grease, and old paint should be
removed. All clean dry surface is essential for the best results.
Begin with a sound, clean, dry and roughened, oil-free application surface, as it is essential to the success and
performance of this product.
Spot test surface by mixing a small quantity of the resin and hardener without the silica filler. Apply the compound to a
small, clean test area. Old paint may wrinkle or lift. If it DOES NOT, wait five (5) days and test the bond strength by
scraping surface with a sharp instrument. A pressure-sensitive tape test can also be used as follows: cut an “X” into
surface and place tape firmly over the cut. Remove the tape with a hard, fast pull. If the coating fails either test, proceed
with instructions for previously coated concrete (see below).
For NEW POURED CONCRETE, allow to fully cure (28 days @ 70° prior to application. Remove any curing membrane
F)
by sanding or etching with a strong detergent.
For OLD CONCRETE, thoroughly clean surface with a grease-cutting detergent to remove grease and oils, and remove
any loose or unsound concrete by chipping, scarifying, shotblasting, sanding, or grinding. Proceed as for new poured
concrete.
For PREVIOUSLY COATED CONCRETE, applications should be considered short term because the coating system is
only as strong as its weakest component. Remove any peeling or degraded paint by sanding or using a paint stripper. For
intact paint, thoroughly clean the surface with a strong detergent, then lightly sand to remove any gloss. Treat any areas
worn down to the original concrete as bare concrete.
