Use and Care Manual

Before use, read Preparation, Hazard and Precautionary Statements. ALWAYS TEST using the
equipment and procedures prior to starting the job.
TYPICAL COVERAGE RATES (SQUARE/FEET)
Smooth Concrete 500-600 | Concrete Block 200-250 | Broom Finish 250-300 | Concrete Pavers
250-300 Diamond Grind 150-250 | Concrete Slab 250-300 Coverage rates will vary based on
substrate porosity and application method
HORIZONTAL SURFACES
Ensure surface is free of any dust, debris and other contaminants. Solvent wipe with Acetone prior to
application of No Prep Primer. If solvent wipe pad appears black/very dirty after wipe, surface is not
clean and must be cleaned with an auto-scrubber and an appropriate cleaner/degreaser. Once
surface is clean and dry, No Prep Primer application may begin. Use an acetone proof pump sprayer,
ex. Swissmex or Chapin, with a cone tip. Keep the spray tip 18 inches off the ground and apply the
product slowly in a circular motion, similar to how a stain is sprayed on concrete. On broom finished,
troweled, ground or non-polished concrete, spray at least two coats wet on wet, 3-4 mils WFT each.
Apply with a 50% overlap, keeping a wet edge while applying. Observe how the concrete absorbs the
first coat for at least 5 minutes. If the surface still looks the same as before the No Prep Primer
application and not wet/saturated, additional coats are required in the dry, non-enhanced areas.
Concrete must be saturated for No Prep Primer to work properly.
APPLICATION
Once concrete is saturated, wait at least 15 minutes for No Prep Primer to become tacky. Once tacky,
No Prep Primer may be over coated with non-water based coatings like ArmorPoxy Epoxy. Do not
apply over coat until No Prep Primer is tacky. Failure to wait until tacky will result in fish eyes, over
coat shrinking away from coating perimeter, and poor finish of top coat. Once No Prep Primer is tacky,
you have 90 minutes to apply over coat. If overcoat window is missed, screen floor and reapply No
Prep Primer.
