APPLICATION
Interior Bare & Previously Painted Concrete
or Wood Application:
Stir thoroughly before and during application. Air
and surface temperatures must be above 50°F
(10°C) during application and remain there for 4
hours after application for proper lm formation
to occur. Apply rst coat by brush (a good quality
nylon/polyester blend) or 1/4” (6.35 mm) nap
roller. For unpainted surfaces, the rst coat
should be thinned with one pint of water per
gallon of paint. For previously painted surfaces in
good condition, apply full strength. Allow 4 hours
drying time and apply a second coat.
Garage Floors & Exterior Concrete
Application:
Stir thoroughly before and during application. Air
and surface temperatures must be above 50°F
(10°C) during application and remain there for 4
hours after application for proper lm formation
to occur. Thin the rst coat with one pint of
water per gallon of paint and apply by brush (a
good quality nylon/polyester blend) to ensure
good adhesion. Allow to dry 4 hours. Apply a
second coat full strength by brush or 1/4” (6.35
mm) nap roller.
IMPORTANT
On oors (other than garages) that are subjected
to hydrostatic pressure (water seeping from
underneath the oor) or that are continually
damp, apply DRYLOK
®
Floor & Wall Masonry
Waterproofer according to directions then
topcoat with DRYLOK
®
Concrete Floor Paint.
Moisture caused by water seeping through oor-
wall joints or cracks must also be eliminated.
Use DRYLOK
®
Fast Plug
®
, a fast setting hydraulic
cement, to ll oor-wall joints or cracks prior to
painting.
DRYING
Allow to dry 4 hours before subjecting to light
foot trac and 24 hours before subjecting to
heavy foot trac. Allow 5 days before subjecting
to automobile use. When air and surface
temperatures are below 50°F (10°C), and/or the
relative humidity is above 60%, or if the coating
is applied too thick, the drying time may be
extended.
WARNING 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-approved
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.
CAUTION
Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not
breathe vapors. Ensure fresh air entry during
application and drying. If you experience
eye watering, headache or dizziness or if air
monitoring demonstrates vapor levels are
above applicable limits, wear an appropriate,
properly tted respirator (NIOSH approved)
during and after application. Follow respirator
manufacturer’s directions for respirator use.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
KEEP FROM FREEZING.
FIRST AID
If you experience diculty breathing, leave the
area to obtain fresh air. If continued diculty is
experienced, call poison control center, hospital
emergency room, or physician immediately.
