PRODUCT APPLICATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
STARTING PROJECT
Whether over bare or previously coated concrete, proper
surface preparation is critical to performance. Allow new
concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days. Before coating, if
necessary, use a wire brush or sander to remove any loose
or unsound concrete or masonry. Remove grease, oil, salt
and other contaminants with Rust-Oleum Heavy-Duty
Degreaser or Rust-Oleum Cleaner & Degreaser (sold
separately). Scrub spots thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush
or broom and wipe up excess cleaner with rags or paper
towels to keep contaminates from spreading. Rinse
thoroughly with fresh water. Repeat as necessary until
completely clean.
Bare Concrete Surfaces: For proper penetration and
maximum adhesion, use Rust-Oleum Concrete Etch or
Rust-Oleum Clean & Etch (sold separately). Follow label
instructions carefully and allow the floor to dry completely.
Wipe your fingers over the clean, dry surface. If you see any
dust or powder on your fingers, repeat scrubbing and rinsing
until the floor is clean.
Previously Painted, Stained or Sealed Concrete
Surfaces: Use a wire brush to remove any loose or peeling
paint, stain or sealer. To ensure proper adhesion, scuff sand
the entire surface and clean with a solvent such as acetone.

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.
APPLICATION
Rust-Oleum Clear Finish Floor Topcoat is ready to use. Do
not thin. Apply only when air (ambient) temperature is
between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC) and the relative humidity is below
85%. Do not paint outdoors if rain is expected within 48 hours.
If using more than one gallon, intermix (box) all cans of the
same product to ensure gloss uniformity. Stir thoroughly
before applying. NOTE: Painted floors may be slippery when
wet. If desired, mix in Rust-Oleum Anti-Skid Additive (sold
separately).
Use a brush or edger to trim the perimeter and hard-to-reach
areas. Use a long handled extension pole and a high quality
⅜” nap roller cover to apply an even coat of Rust-Oleum
Finish Floor Topcoat onto the surface. Apply in 4’x4’ foot
sections and maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks and
gloss differences. Continue applying in 4’x4’ sections until
complete. Only one coat is necessary. If a second coat is
desired, wait 4 hours before applying the second coat in a
direction perpendicular to the first. Occasional touch-up may
be necessary for areas subject to heavy vehicle traffic.
DRY & RECOAT TIMES
Dry and recoat times are based on 70ºF and 50% relative
humidity. Dry times increase at cooler temperatures. The
surface should be ready for light foot traffic in 24 hours. FOR
FULL CURE AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC, ALLOW 5 DAYS.
CLEAN-UP
Wash tools and equipment with warm water and a mild
detergent immediately after use. Properly dispose of all soiled
rags and protect unused product from freezing.
COVERAGE
Each gallon contains enough material to cover approximately
150-250 square feet over bare concrete and 300-400 square
feet over coated concrete. Additional product may be required
depending on surface conditions.
