.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Wet Look Concrete & Masonry Lacquer
seals and protects concrete and masonry surfaces from
the damaging effects of water, chemicals and UV light.
This solvent-based formula forms an extremely durable,
protective barrier to keep water out, protect against stains
and extend the life of the concrete surface. The “wet look”
high gloss finish beautifies decorative concrete, stone,
pavers and masonry surfaces. Application is quick and
easy using a solvent-resistant pump sprayer or paint roller.
Wet Look Concrete & Masonry Lacquer is suitable for use
on interior and exterior concrete and masonry surfaces
including previously stained or sealed concrete, pavers,
stone, slate, tile, stucco and more. Do not use on asphalt.
Wet Look Lacquer is ideal for driveways, walkways,
porches, patios, pool decks and more. If topcoating freshly
stained concrete, no surface preparation is necessary.
See stain labels for recommended topcoat times. Note:
Surfaces previously sealed with Wet Look Concrete &
Masonry Lacquer may be sealed again with this product.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Proper surface preparation is critical to achieve best
results. Allow newly poured concrete to cure for a
minimum of 28 days. Sweep away all loose dirt, debris
and remove any vegetation that could interfere with
application and performance. If necessary, use a wire
brush or sander to remove any loose or unsound concrete
or masonry. Remove any efflorescence with efflorescence
remover (sold separately). Clean the entire surface,
including any oil or grease spots with heavy duty cleaner
(sold separately). Scrub with a stiff bristle brush or broom.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. A power washer is
preferred. Repeat as necessary to completely clean and
rinse. Allow to dry completely before sealing. Hazing may
occur if lacquer is applied to a damp surface.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION
Wet Look Concrete & Masonry Lacquer is ready to use.
Do not thin. Use only when air (ambient) temperature is
between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and the relative humidity is
below 85% during the day and night. Do not apply in
direct sunlight. Do not apply if rain is expected within 24
hours. Use in a well ventilated area.
Mask adjacent surfaces to allow spray application up to all
edges. Protect delicate foliage from overspray. Apply
using a solvent-resistant pump sprayer with an adjustable
spray tip. Shake or swirl container to mix product. Fill
solvent-resistant pump sprayer with sealer, then fully
pressurize the sprayer. Set the spray tip to a medium-fine
mist and spray 10-12” from the surface. An alternate
method is to apply with a ⅜” or ½” nap roller from a paint
tray. Do not pour the sealer directly on the surface or allow
to puddle.
Apply the sealer evenly, using a circular or oval pattern to
saturate the surface. Start and stop the sprayer just off the
work area to prevent drips. For larger areas, work in 6’x6’
sections at a time before moving to the next section. Apply
a saturating coat so the surface remains wet for several
minutes before sealer is absorbed. Wait 5-10 minutes then
back roll with a ⅜” to ½” nap roller to pick up any puddles
and soften overlap marks. A second coat is recommended
for more porous surfaces. Wait until the first coat is dry to
the touch and follow the same application method and
back roll. Occasional touch-up or recoat may be
necessary for areas subject to heavy foot or vehicle traffic.
COVERAGE
Each gallon covers 200 square feet (single coat). The
actual coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the
surface. Dense surfaces will require only one coat. Porous
surfaces may require additional coats.
DRY TIME
Dry time is based on 70°F and 50% relative humidity.
Allow longer dry time at lower temperatures and higher
humidity. Wet Look Lacquer will dry to the touch in 30
minutes. Allow a minimum of 2 hours for foot traffic. Wait
24-48 hours before returning heavy items, furniture and
vehicles. The surface will be fully cured in 72 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Wash tools and equipment with xylene or lacquer thinner.
Clean spills with xylene or lacquer thinner. Properly
dispose of all soiled rags and unused product.
CAUTION: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN – DO
NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
