.SURFACE PREPARATION cont.) .
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. 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.
Wood Preparation: Using 80 grit sandpaper, sand the
wood surface to remove mill glaze, sealers and/or
varnishes. Vacuum and wipe clean with a dry rag and
allow to dry completely before coating.
Tile Preparation: Using 60-80 grit sandpaper, completely
deglaze the surface. Vacuum and clean the surface with a
solvent. Allow to dry completely before coating.
WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint from
any surface, you may release lead paint 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.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION .
MIXING
MIX ONLY ONE POUCH AT A TIME. Both components
and the environment should be pre- conditioned to a
minimum of 40ºF (4ºC) prior to use. Be sure the air and
surface temperatures are at least 5º above the dew point.
Thoroughly mix the material in the pouch by shaking it
back and forth and squeezing each side of the pouch.
Combine the two components Part A and Part B by
placing the pouch on the ground and rolling it from Part A
side towards Part B. The pressure created by rolling the
pouch will force the middle seal to burst allowing the two
components to mix together. Thoroughly mix the material
by shaking the pouch back and forth and squeezing the
edges and corners for 2-3 minutes. The product is now
activated and must be applied within 1 hour. Repeat the
above steps for the second pouch.
APPLICATION
Apply only when air, material and floor temperatures are
between 40-90°F (4-32°C) and the relative humidity is
below 80%. Extreme cold application temperatures may
slow the cure time. DO NOT apply the coating if
temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F for 48
hours after the application
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION (cont.)
Once the material in thoroughly mixed, use scissors to cut
a corner off the pouch. Pour the mixed material from each
pouch into separate sides of the RockSolid Marble Tray
(included). Add enough material to partially fill each
chamber in the tray. Trim the edges using a good quality
synthetic brush; blot along the edges with both colors. Use
the RockSolid Marble Roller Cover (included) and 9”
roller frame to apply the coating evenly with light pressure,
to the floor in 3’ x 3’ sections in an “M” and “W” pattern.
De-lint the roller cover prior to application.
Rotate 90 degrees and roll in the opposite direction using
short 6” to12” strokes. Change the roller direction
frequently for best results. Do not over-roll as this may
cause the two colors to blend together. Always saturate
the roller on the same side of the roller pan. Continue this
process until the entire area has been coated, adding
more material to the tray when necessary. Only one coat
is necessary. Do not coat over control joints. Use a flexible
control joint fill material if desired. Repeat the above steps
for each additional kit.
COVERAGE RATE
Each Polycuramine pouch kit covers up to 200-250 square
feet. Coverage may vary based on condition and porosity
of the concrete.
DRY TIME
Temperature and humidity may affect drying time. Do not
walk on the coating while it is still tacky. Surface should be
ready for foot traffic in 8-10 hours and vehicle traffic in 24-
36 hours depending upon temperature and humidity.
CLEAN-UP
Clean tools and equipment with acetone. Allow unused
product to harden in container and dispose according to
local regulations.
LIMITATIONS
This product must be installed at the specified spread
rates to perform as described. Do not apply in direct
sunlight. Do not apply product when the substrate and
ambient temperatures are steadily below 40°F (4°C).
SHELF LIFE and STORAGE
Twenty-four (24) months in factory delivered unopened
pouches. Keep away from extreme heat, cold and
moisture. Maintain at a proper storage temperature of 45-
90°F. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from fire
hazards.
