263997 Low VOC Premium Clear

Floor Coating kit to create a high performance ﬁnish with a

a two-component epoxy coating designed to provide excellent

PRODUCT APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

Allow new concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days. Check

the garage ﬂoor for conditions that might interfere with proper

adhesion (see directions sheet). Remove any oil spots or spills

and wash the ﬂoor with EPOXYSHIELD

Heavy Duty Degreaser

or a suitable detergent or degreasing solution. Thoroughly

rinse with fresh water. Then etch the ﬂoor using Rust-Oleum

Concrete Etch.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (CONT.)

For best results when using the Concrete Etch, the concrete

should

be damp, but free of puddles. Mix the entire contents of the

Concrete Etch granules with 2 gallons (3.79 l) of water. Do not

add Concrete Etch directly to paint. Use a plastic sprinkling can

to evenly distribute the Concrete Etch solution. Scrub the ﬂoor

with a stiff bristle brush and make sure the ﬂoor stays wet during

this process until you are ready to rinse. Pay special attention

to the area where the vehicle tires normally stand. Continue to

scrub while rinsing to ensure all contaminates are washed away.

Squeegee off excessive water or puddles and allow to dry.

For best results, clean 10x10 foot (3x3 meters) sections at a time.

Completely wash, rinse, and squeegee each section before moving

on to the next. When all the sections have been completed in this

manner, then re-rinse and squeegee the entire ﬂoor. When the

ﬂoor is dry, rub your ﬁngers on the concrete and check for a white

ﬁlm. If a white dust or powder is detected, then repeat the rinsing

process being sure to thoroughly scrub during the rinse. Once

the concrete is free of surface residue, you are ready to begin

application of the coating. All pilot lights or open ﬂames in the area

must be extinguished due to the ﬂammability of the solvents in the

coating. Pilot lights or open ﬂames must remain extinguished for a

minimum of 24 hours following application of the EPOXYSHIELD

Premium Clear coating.

PREVIOUSLY COATED FLOORS:

Make sure the ﬂoor is clean and dry. The EPOXYSHIELD

Low VOC Premium Clear coating is designed for use over

the EPOXYSHIELD

Garage Floor ﬁnish or EPOXYSHIELD

Professional ﬁnish. The EPOXYSHIELD

Low VOC Premium Clear

coating can be applied over the Garage Floor ﬁnish after 24 hours.

The EPOXYSHIELD

Low VOC Premium Clear coating can be

applied over the Professional Floor ﬁnish between 16 hours and

5 days. For other previous coatings, use a wire brush to remove

any loose or peeling paint or stain. If ﬂoor is sealed, the sealer will

have to be removed by grinding or shot blasting. To ensure proper

adhesion, scuff sand the entire surface.

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, ﬁnd out how to protect yourself and your family
