Application instructions

1. TEST PRODUCT ON A SMALL AREA FIRST and allow a 24-hour cure time to determine the ease of application and desired results.
2. Ensure surfaces to be treated are clean, dry, and free of residues.
3. Generously and evenly saturate the surface with Water based Penetrating Sealer using a clean paintbrush, roller or lambswool applicator.
4. Avoid contact with surrounding areas. Very absorbent surfaces may need a second coat. Apply a second coat while the first coat is still wet.
5. Allow the sealer to penetrate for approximately 10 minutes, but before the sealer dries, thoroughly polish off all excess from the surface with clean, dry, white cloths/towels. When sealing a large area, work in smaller sections so the excess can be easily removed before it dries.
6. Total application rate is approximately 1 quart per 40 to 120 SF. or 1 liter per 4 to 12 square meters depending on surface absorption (1 gallon per 160 to 480 SF. or 3.79 L per 16 to 48 sqm).
7. Clean equipment with water.

Note: Water based Penetrating Sealer WILL NOT prevent surface etching, scuffing or wear, and may lighten or darken some surfaces.

Other Application Insights

1. TESTING Waterbased Penetrating Sealer. The product will reach full cure and should only be tested after 4 to 5 days cure time.
   1. There is a significant increase in stain repellence when the product is allowed to reach full cure.
   2. Waterbased Penetrating Sealer is a highly modified fluorocarbon sealer – the molecules are approximately 3 to 4 times smaller than a typical fluorocarbon sealer, and free of cancer-causing PFOAs. This means you can have a higher percentage of active content without the sealer becoming visible, but it also takes 1 or 2 days longer to reach full cure than the standard 3 days for a fluorocarbon sealer.
2. APPLYING Waterbased Penetrating Sealer ON POLISHED SURFACES. 
   1. Waterbased Penetrating Sealer must be applied to polished surfaces with a lambswool applicator, roller or paint brush, not a sprayer.
   2. Waterbased Penetrating Sealer tends to pool / bead quickly on polished surfaces, which means it does not have enough dwell time on the surface. To ensure longer contact with the polished surface: 1) Use your applicator / cloth / roller to wipe the sealer across the surface, 2) allow 3 or 4 minutes dwell time, then 3) spread it over the surfaces AGAIN and 4) allow a further 5 to 10 minutes of dwell time before polishing off all excess product.
3. APPLYING WATERBASED PENETRATING SEALER TO HIGHLY POROUS SURFACES.

HIGHLY POROUS SURFACES, SUCH AS SANDSTONE AND THE MORE POROUS TYPES OF LIMESTONE MAY REQUIRE 2 COATS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO APPLY THE SECOND COAT WHILE THE FIRST COAT IS STILL A LITTLE DAMP. IF THE FIRST COAT HAS DRIED TOO MUCH, IT WILL START TO REPEL THE SECOND COAT AND PREVENT IT FROM PENETRATING AND ADHERING.
