Use and Care Manual

Mixing
For best use, the coating should be at room temperature. Use a mix stick to mix either of the aforementioned
recipes. If after the initial recipe has been mix and successfully applied, those recipes can be double or tripled
depending on how the test mix went. Use a mixing wand on the end of a drill to mix amount larger than either
of the aforementioned recipes. Mix in reverse and in slow speed to avoid pulling air into the mix.
DO NOT mix more than you can apply in 20-30 minutes.
NO ALCOHOL USED
1. Pour the premeasure Part A into a paper or plastic mix cup. Pour the premeasured Part B into the same cup
and mix.
2. Mix until both components are thoroughly blended (usually about 2 minutes).
3. Scrape the bottom and sides of the mix cup and fold it into the mix
4. Pour the contents of the mix cup either into a large flat plastic paint pan or directly onto the surface to be
coted.
YES ALCOHOL USED
1. Pour the premeasured Part B into a paper or plastic mix cup. Pour the premeasured alcohol into the same
cup and mix.
2. Mix until both components are thoroughly blended.
3. Pour the premeasured Part A into the mix cup and mix until all is thoroughly blended (usually about 2
minutes).
4. Scrape the bottom and sides of the mix cup and fold it into the mix
5. Pour the contents of the mix cup either into a large flat plastic paint pan or directly onto the surface to be
coted.
DO NOT leave the mixed material in the mix cup. It will prematurely cure and can get very hot
Application Process
For best results, the coating should be applied during a time of the day when it is coolest (early morning or very
late afternoon). The finished thickness of the coating needs to be 10mils (10 thousandths of an inch) thick which
is about the thickness of three sheets of paper (see gauge on previous page). It is important to keep this in
mind because coating will only be as strong as it should be if it is applied to this minimum thickness.
The mixed coating should be poured into a large plastic paint pan or directly onto the surface of the project
being coated. If pouring on the surface, pour slightly ahead in several puddles to work towards. A variety of
tools can be used to move the coating around including a spreader or squeegee, a paint roller and brushes.
Smaller width cloth rollers (3-4 inch wide) are best and a nice quality brush will work best. Avoid sponge rollers
or brushes and avoid cheap chip brushes. 1/3 of the bristle length should be cut off to slightly stiffen the brush
you choose. Acetone can be used to clean tools.
If applying multiple coats, it is best to apply both coats within 1 to 10 hours (the same day). After 10 hours, the
previous coat will need to be sanded before a second coat is applied. Most people will apply two coats to the
walls or other vertical surfaces and then apply a single 10mil thick coat on the floor and horizontal surfaces so
they can walk their way out of the project.
Inspection and Touch up
You MUST inspect and qualify each and every square foot of surface area coated before any water is added to
the unit. Inspect only ONE square foot at a time in a methodical manner and touch up any irregularities as
needed. Look for dimples, protrusions, gaps, spots of bare substrate or any other blemishes. Bear in mind that
sanding will be required if the amount of time between the initial application and the touch up phase has
exceeded 10 hours. Use 60-grit sandpaper to scuff if needed. The finished coating should be a minimum of 10
mils thick and look solid with no substrate bleed through. Let the coating cure at least 24 hours before use.
