HOW TO USE

• Usage
  Properly prepared interior and exterior concrete and masonry surfaces including garage floors, driveways, basement floors, laundry rooms, porches and patios
• Prep
  The surface must be clean, dry and free of all loose or peeling paint and contaminants. Bare Concrete: Allow new surfaces to cure at least 30 days before painting. Clean and etch new or bare concrete with Valspar® Fast Prep® Cleaner, Degreaser & Etcher. Follow all Fast Prep label instructions. After proper etching, the surface should feel like 120‐grit sandpaper and rapidly absorb water. To test absorption, spray various sections of the surface to be coated with water. If the water does not absorb rapidly, or if the surface does not feel like 120-grit sandpaper, then etch again. After etching, rinse the surface thoroughly and let dry for at least 24 hours. For increased adhesion of the topcoat to the surface, apply Valspar® Concrete Bonding Primer before painting, following label instructions. Previously Painted/Stained Concrete: Can be applied over water-based coatings that are properly cleaned and in good condition. Remove wax and grease with an all-purpose cleaner (TSP or substitute). Remove gloss from previously painted surfaces by sanding. If the existing coating is failing or peeling, use a paint stripper or wire brush to remove all old, peeling, flaking coating down to bare concrete. Spot etch any exposed concrete until it feels like 120-grit sandpaper and rapidly absorbs water. Rinse the surface thoroughly and let dry for at least 24 hours. It is recommended that previously painted or stained concrete is primed with Valspar® Concrete Bonding Primer, following label instructions, before top coating. Clean Mildew from the Surface: Mildew is a fungus that looks like dirt but won’t wash off. Mildew must be removed before painting, or it will grow through any new coat of paint. To remove mildew or suspected mildew, scrub surface before painting with a commercial mildew remover following manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Application
  Mix well before and during use. Intermix all cans of the same color. Apply with a high-quality, polyester brush, 1/4" or 3/8" nap roller, or airless sprayer. First Coat: Apply theproduct along any edges or corners using a brush. Spread product evenly with a roller and finish with long, even strokes in the same direction. Second Coat: Two coats are recommended formost applications. Wait 4-6 hours for second coat. Apply second coat at right angle to the first coat in a criss-cross pattern. Do not allow water to pond or puddle on newly painted surfaces.
