To check for trapped moisture, tape a 12” x
12” piece of 3 mil plastic or aluminum foil
t
ightly on all four edges to the surface.
Remove it aer 24 hours. If the oor side of
the plastic or foil is damp, allow additional
drying and repeat the test.
EFFLORESCENCE a white, powdery crystal-
like deposit visible on the masonry surface,
s
hould be removed.
DRYLOK® ETCH (liquid or powder) or
muriatic acid, used according to
manufacturer’s directions, are effective
efflorescence removal agents. All masonry
surfaces are subject to occurrences of
efflorescence.
Properly prepared concrete should look and
feel like medium grit sandpaper. If concrete
remains smooth, repeat etching procedure.
Test concrete porosity by sprinkling a few
drops of water onto the surface in several
areas. If the water is readily absorbed, you
are ready to paint. If it beads or lays on the
surface additional cleaning and etching is
needed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water
and allow to dry for 24 hours.
NOTE: Rinse etching solutions thoroughly.
Etching solution allowed to dry on the
masonry surface will prevent proper
penetration and curing of the DRYLOK®
Wetlook Sealer. Surface must be thoroughly
dry. Do not apply to damp surfaces. For
exterior surfaces, do not apply if rain is
expected within 48 hours. Wait for a dry,
rain-free period.
New concrete and freshly applied Portland
cement based patching compounds must be
cured for a minimum of 24 hours prior to
application of DRYLOK® Wetlook Sealer.
Patch all holes and cracks with a suitable
cement based patching compound. Be sure
to smooth the patch evenly. Allow the
patched area to dry thoroughly.
Previously painted masonry surfaces: In
addition to normal surface preparation old
glossy surface must have the gloss removed
by using sandpaper. Remove all sanding dust
with a vacuum or tack cloth.
If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN
DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO
AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-
a
pproved respirator to control lead
exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start,
nd out how to protect yourself and your
family by contacting the National Lead
Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or
log on to www.epa.gov/lead.
Stir thoroughly. Use only when air and
surface temperatures are between 50°-95°F
(10°-35°C). Surface must be thoroughly dry.
Do not apply in direct sunlight. Do not apply
to wet surfaces or if rain or heavy dew is
expected within 24 hours before or aer
application. Apply a thin coat using a 3/8"-
1/2" nap roller or use a nylon/polyester
brush at a spread rate of 1000-2000 sq. .
per 5 gallon. Spread rate is highly
dependent on surface porosity, 1-2 coats are
all that is required to achieve a high gloss
appearance.
On exposed aggregate and on materials
where product may puddle or pool, over
application will extend drying times and
surface may appear milky until fully dry.
IMPORTANT: Sealed surfaces and areas
adjacent to pools may become slippery
when wet. Use caution when walking on
surface when moisture is present.
OPTIONAL: Up to 2 oz. of DRYLOK® Non-
Skid Texture Additive may be added to
DRYLOK® Wetlook Sealer to improve
traction.
For previously painted masonry surfaces
DRYLOK® Wetlook Sealer may be applied
over existing paints and coatings. Many
previously coated surfaces may only require
one coat. Test DRYLOK® WetLook Sealer on
a small area to determine compatibility prior
to completing the entire job.
Due to variations in porosity, when applied
over agstone, slate, terrazo, dense smooth
or light colored concrete, thin with equal
parts of clean, luke warm water to minimize
sheen variations as subsequent top coats are
applied. Test on a small area to see nal
effect.
Horizontal surfaces subject to excessive wear
may require periodic touch-ups to high
traffic areas.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
CLOSE CONTAINER AFTER EACH USE.
KEEP FROM FREEZING!
USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
EYES: Flush immediately with large amounts
of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a
physician if irritation persists.
SKIN: Wash affected areas with soap and
water. Consult a physician if irritation
persists.
INGESTION: Seek medical aention. If
individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not
give anything by mouth. Place individual on
the le side with head down. Contact a
physician, medical facility or poison control
center for advice about whether to induce
vomiting.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
