APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before staining, rope off areas to be stained and use plastic
sheeting to cover and protect surrounding surfaces and
vegetation. Do not allow open containers to stand on
untreated concrete surfaces, as staining will occur if the
material is spilled.
How to Apply: Apply a first coat of H&C INFUSION Water-
Based Semi-Transparent Decorative Stain using a pump-up
sprayer and a cone-shaped tip in a circular motion.This
method of application will prevent tracking or lap lines from
developing. You can apply the stain full strength or dilute with
water to lighten the color, if desired. Do not exceed a 4:1
water-to-stain mix ratio.
Additional Coats: You can apply additional coats of the same
stain color or supplementary colors, depending on the desired
appearance. Allow a dry time of 4 to 6 hours between coats.
Apply lighter colors first to achieve a layered look. In addition
to spraying, application can be done using mops, sponges, rags
and other faux-finishing tools.
Sealing: Allow H&C INFUSION Water-Based Semi-
T
ransparent Decorative Stain to dry 4 to 6 hours before
applying a sealer. You can topcoat the stain with any topical
H&C solvent- or water-based sealer. For high-traffic or
commercial applications, use H&C™ CLEARPROTECT™ High-
Performance Industrial Clear Sealer. A minimum of two coats
of sealer are required. Typically, solvent-based sealers will
darken the stain, so test the sealer along with the color prior
to full-scale application. Sacrificial finishes, such as H&C
INFUSION Industrial Floor Finish, can be applied as a final
coat to improve durability.
CLEANUP
Clean tools and any spills or spatters immediately using soap and
warm water.
DISPOSAL
Dispose of leftover stain product and cleaning residue in
accordance with federal and state regulations.
MAINTENANCE
For maintenance, please referrence the appropriate sealer
data page. Surfaces treated with H&C INFUSION Water-Based
Semi-Transparent Decorative Stain are easily cleaned using 3
parts water to 1 part H&C CONCRETEREADY Cleaner
Degreaser.
