PAINTING CONDITIONS

IMPORTANT: Read the printed kit instructions

completely before starting your project.

DO NOT PAINT IF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS

EXISTS:

Sealed Concrete - Drip a small amount of water onto the

floor. If the water beads, a sealer is present and paint may

not adhere properly.

Poorly Bonded Paint – Remove any loose paint by sanding

and scraping. Test the adhesion of the remaining paint on the

surface by doing the following. With a single-edged razor

blade, cut an X through the coating and down to the concrete.

Apply a 4" piece of duct tape over the X and press firmly.

Then remove the tape with one quick pull. If more than 25%

of the paint comes off, DO NOT coat the floor with

EpoxyShield until the old paint is completely removed.

PAINTING CONDITIONS (cont.)

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 by

contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-

424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Moisture in the Concrete - Apply a 2' x 2' sheet of plastic

(such as a heavy-duty garbage bag or 1 gallon plastic

storage bag) to an area of the bare concrete garage floor.

Tape down the edges with duct tape and allow to set for 24

hours. If water droplets appear on the inside of the plastic

or if concrete appears wet (darker in color), moisture is

trapped in the concrete and Rust-Oleum Moisture Stop

should be used prior to applying a coating.

Loose/Damaged Concrete - If the concrete is loose,

chipping (spalled), the coating will not perform properly.

Repair damaged areas before applying EpoxyShield.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Preparation is critical to performance.

Allow newly poured concrete to cure for a minimum of 28

days prior to coating. Remove oil spots with a scrub brush

and Rust-Oleum

Heavy Duty Degreaser or Rust-Oleum

Cleaner & Degreaser (sold separately). Scrub thoroughly,

then rinse. Repeat as necessary to completely clean.

PREVIOUSLY COATED FLOORS: Make sure the floor is

clean and dry. Use a wire brush to remove any loose or

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

to be removed. To ensure proper adhesion, scuff sand the

entire surface.

BARE CONCRETE: Concrete Etch - Mix one bag of

concrete etch per two gallons of water (do not add concrete

etch directly to paint). Mix until dissolved. This solution

contains a mild citric acid. Note: Do not use muriatic acid.

For best results, use a plastic watering can to evenly

distribute solution. If product will be used on a basement

floor, do not use etch. Instead, prepare floor with TSP

solution or TSP substitute.
