CONDITIONS PRIOR TO COATING .
NEWLY POURED CONCRETE
If newly poured concrete has not fully cured, the coating
will not perform properly. Allow newly poured concrete to
cure for a minimum of 28 days before coating.
.SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.) .
Moisture Testing - If there is any doubt about the dryness
of the concrete, apply a 2’ X 2’ sheet of plastic to the
garage floor. Tape down the edges with duct tape and let
set for 24 hours. If water droplets form on the inside of the
plastic or the concrete appears wet (darker in colour),
moisture is trapped in the floor and it should not be
painted or coated until the moisture issue is resolved.
Sealed Concrete - Check for curing compounds or other
types of sealers by pouring a small amount of water onto
the concrete. If water soaks in, the surface is porous
enough and suitable for coating. If water beads up on the
concrete, the surface is not porous and a test application
is warranted to ensure proper adhesion will develop.
Sanding or mechanical abrading may be required if proper
adhesion does not develop.
Previously Coated Floors - Previously coated floors
need to be in good condition with proper adhesion to the
concrete substrate. Remove any loose paint by sanding
and/or scraping; then test the adhesion of the remaining
paint by cutting a small X through the coating down to the
concrete using a sharp razor knife. Firmly apply a piece of
duct tape over the center of the X cut, and then pull off
with a fast snap. If more than 25% of the paint comes off,
DO NOT coat the floor with Rust-Oleum Textured clear
Topcoat until the old paint is completely removed.
Loose/Damaged Concrete – If concrete is loose or
chipped, the coating will not adhere properly. Repair
damaged areas with before applying RockSolid Textured
Clear Topcoat.
CONCRETE PREPARATION – For coating over bare
concrete
Scrub heavily soiled areas with RockSolid Heavy Duty
Degreaser or Rust-Oleum Cleaner & Degreaser (sold
separately). Scrub thoroughly, then rinse. Repeat as
needed. Mix the concrete etch powder (sold separately)
with 2 gallons of water until dissolved. (DO NOT add
concrete etch directly to paint). The solution contains a
mild citric acid. (DO NOT use muriatic acid).
Pre-wet entire floor using a hose; then remove pooled
water. Use a plastic watering can to evenly distribute the
etch solution over a 10’ x 10’ section of floor. Scrub
vigorously with a bristle brush to loosen dirt and dust.
Keep the section wet until it has been etched and rinsed;
then move on to the next section.
Once completed, rinse and squeegee the entire floor to
remove any traces of etch. DO NOT leave pooled water
on the floor. Etch will not discolor driveways or harm grass
or plants if rinsed thoroughly. Allow the floor to dry
thoroughly. Rub your fingers over the dry floor. If dust or
powder comes off on your fingers, repeat scrubbing and
rinsing until the floor is clean. Note: If the floor is not
thoroughly cleaned and rinsed, the coating may not
adhere properly.
