.DESCRIPTION AND USES .
Rust-Oleum
®
Concrete Stain + Sealer seals, protects and
beautifies concrete and masonry surfaces from the
damaging effects of water, chemicals and UV light. This
water-base formula forms a protective barrier to keep
water out, protect against stains and extend the life of the
concrete surface. It is suitable for use on driveways,
patios, walkways, pool decks, basements and more. This
product is not intended for use on garage floors.
This product can be tinted to give the look of a semi-
transparent stain. It can be used without tint as a clear
sealer over bare or stained concrete surfaces. Concrete
Stain + Sealer can be used on interior or exterior, stained
or bare concrete and masonry surfaces. Do not use on
asphalt.

STARTING PROJECT
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 an
efflorescence remover (sold separately). Clean the entire
surface, including any oil or grease spots with Rust-Oleum
Cleaner & Degreaser (sold separately). Scrub the surface
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 to
the touch (typically 4-6 hours) before applying Rust-Oleum
Concrete Stain + Sealer.
APPLICATION
Rust-Oleum Concrete Stain + Sealer 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.
.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
APPLICATION (cont.)
Mask adjacent surfaces to allow spray application up to all
edges. Protect delicate foliage from overspray. Apply
using a standard pump sprayer with an adjustable spray
tip. Stir the container to mix product. Fill pump sprayer
with product, then fully pressurize the sprayer. Set the
spray tip to a medium-fine mist and spray 10-12” from the
surface. Do not pour the sealer directly on the surface or
allow to puddle. If using the product as an untinted clear
sealer, an alternate method is to apply with a ⅜” or ½” nap
roller from a paint tray.
Apply the Concrete Stain + 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. For
additional protection on heavy traffic areas or for more
porous surfaces, a topcoat of untinted Clear Sealer is
recommended using the same application method above.
Occasional touch-up or recoat may be necessary for areas
subject to heavy foot or vehicle traffic. For ongoing
maintenance, surfaces previously sealed with Rust-Oleum
Concrete Stain + Sealer may be sealed again with this
product.
TINTING
The High Gloss Concrete Stain + Sealer can be tinted with
up to 8 ounces of universal colorant per gallon in the store.
The Low Gloss Concrete Stain + Sealer can be tinted with
up to 4 ounces of universal colorant per gallon in the store.
Make sure each gallon is thoroughly shaken or mixed
before use. If more than one gallon is used, box or
intermix in a larger container before use.
COVERAGE
As a tinted Stain + Sealer, each gallon covers 200-400
square feet (single coat), depending on the level of
staining desired. The actual coverage will vary depending
on the porosity of the surface. Porous surfaces will require
heavier application and may require a clear topcoat. As an
untinted Clear Sealer, each gallon covers 200-400 square
feet (single coat) depending on the porosity of the surface.
Porous surfaces will require multiple coats of sealer.
DRY TIME
Dry time is based on 70°F and 50% relative humidity.
Allow longer dry time at lower temperatures and higher
humidity. Wait a minimum of 4-6 hours for light foot traffic.
Wait 24-48 hours before returning heavy items, furniture
and vehicles. The surface will be fully cured in 72 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Soap and water. Properly dispose of all soiled rags, roller
covers and unused product.
