Acid Staining and Sealing a Patio
Product Specifications:- Coverage: 150-200 square feet per gallon, depending on porosity of surface.
- Contains 23% acrylic solids.
- Sold in 1, 5 and 55 Gallons.
- View Sealer Troubleshooting Guide for common acrylic sealer problems and solutions.
Application Overview:- Easy application- Ensure application surface is clean and dry. Apply with brush, roller, or industrial sprayer. Clean up with xylene.
- Apply by Concrete Sealer Sprayer (sold separately), or by roller and brush.
- Drying time: 4 hours at 75 degrees F. Maximum hardness achieved after 7 days.
- Tip- Applying 2 or more light coats with 1-3 hours between coats (or until surface is dry to the touch) will have better results than one thick coating.
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight, on rainy/foggy days, or during the hottest part of the day. Apply in temperatures between 55°F and 80°F.
- Keep foot traffic off for 24 hours. Allow 72 hours before heavy traffic.
Application Detailed Instructions:Concrete Coatings, Inc. strongly recommends representative job site samples. Individuals who will be
performing the work should test different sections of the concrete to determine suitability, coverage, and final
appearance. New concrete should be cured at least 28 days, prior to application. The application area must be
completely clean and dry to the touch. Pressure washing and power scrubbing may be necessary. Remove all
efflorescence, oil, dirt, wax, old paints, sealer, and curing compounds. RINSE THOROUGHLY. Allow the
surface to dry at least 24 hours. Soaps and detergents should never be used for cleaning. Dried residue on the
surface will prevent the sealer from bonding. Acid washing is NOT recommended. If acid is used, a
representative area must be tested. Soak the entire surface with water before applying the acid mixture. When
the fizzing stops, rinse with clean water. After 10 or 15 minutes, the surface must then be flushed with clean
water and neutralized with a pH neutralizer such as ammonia, baking soda, or T.S.P. Repeat rinsing and
neutralizing. Acid residue will prevent the sealer from penetrating. Allow the surface to dry for at least 24 hours
prior to application. NOT RECOMMENDED for pre-sealed or dense surfaces, such as glazed tile, marble or
granite, dense brick, dense slate, or terrazzo. If in doubt, test the surface by sprinkling with water. If water
beads up on the surface, additional cleaning and testing must be done. Do not use where hydrostatic pressure
is possible.
Always test a small area of surface to verify protection and appearance. Use GemKote full strength.
Thinning is not required. Apply 1-2 light, even coats (depending on porosity of surface) with a short-napped
roller or a sprayer with neoprene seals and hose. Allow 1-3 hours between coats or until the surface is dry to
the touch. Apply in temperatures between 12.8°C to 26.7°C (55°F and 80°F). Avoid using in direct sunlight,
especially on hot, windy days. Apply during the cooler part of the day when the surface is shaded. Do not apply
on rainy or foggy days. Excess moisture will not allow the sealer to dry properly. Use only in well ventilated
areas. It is recommended that foot traffic remain off the finished sealed surface for 24 hours. For heavy traffic,
allow 72 hours for curing. HELPFUL HINT: Use xylene for easy cleanup immediately after use.
The sealed surface should be inspected periodically for areas of thin or traffic-worn sealer and reapplied as
needed. If traces of efflorescence are present, it should first be eliminated with a gentle cleaner. For maximum
life expectancy, routinely sweep and wash floors with appropriate cleaners and detergents. All chemicals or
abrasive grit should be removed as soon as possible.
