Surface Preparation
Concrete, Plaster, Polymer Cements – All visible oil, grease, sludge, and any other contaminants shall be removed prior to any abrasive surface preparation, acid etching and water washing. Surface shall be cured, dry and free from dark alkali stain and laitance. Blas-Trac or other abrasive preparation is preferred for long term adhesion and non-slip surface.
Wood – Surface must be completely dry, free of any contaminants, mildew and organic matter.

Application Methods
Brush – Use top-quality nylon bristle brush for best film properties.
Mottling – Use clean cloths or sponges for faux finishing, aging and graining.
Roller – Lambswool or similar cover with phenolic core, ¼ - ½ inch nap thickness.
Spray – Commercial conventional air spray or airless spray equipment utilizing spray gun tip size between .013”-.015”. Adjust pressure for proper atomization. Hudson and other hand held commercial sprayers could be used to achieve desired results.
Environment – Apply between 50°F. – 100°F. and 5°F. above dewpoint.
Safety – Areas such as pool decks, sloped driveways, or other surfaces subjected to water may become slippery when topcoated with specified products. If you must seal these surfaces, keep the sealer film build-up to a minimum. In severe cases a non-slip material such as fine glass beads, washed silica sand and other aggregates may be broadcasted between coating applications. Contact Kemiko for any additional application information.
