            IMPORTANT NOTE

            1. Read entire Product Label, SDS and Technical Bulletin before using any product.
            2. ALWAYS TEST A SMALL AREA to determine the ease of application & desired results.

            GENERAL NOTE:

            These recommendations are intended as general guidelines for all available cleaning and sealing options. Read product label, technical bulletin and SDS thoroughly prior to use. Always test first to determine number of coats, desired look, dilution of chemicals, dwell time and the final result. Sealers are not waterproofing agents and do not protect against etching by acid based contaminants or harsh chemicals.

            COVERAGE NOTE:

            All coverages and suggested number of coats are approximate and only as a guide. Coverage will vary depending on surface density, porosity, texture and absorption. Also weather conditions, the application method and number of coats required.
