SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be free of dirt, oil, grease, loose paint, mortar,
and any other contaminants. New, glazed brick should have the gloss
removed with a wire brush. New block and stucco should be allowed
to dry at least 60 days at 75°F. Power washing is recommended to
ensure proper bonding of coating. Fill any holes or cracks with
Protecta-Sealer. Any large cracks should be covered with Protecta-Sealer
or fabric.
APPLICATION
Protecta-Crete is ready for use as it comes from the container.
Do not thin. In cool weather, material may thicken, requiring warming
by interior storage. DO NOT HEAT! Apply coating only to dry surfaces.
Protecta-Crete may be applied by spray, brush, or roller. For spray
application, use an 0.030-0.035 orifice. Applied most effectively
by air, gasoline, or electric-powered airless spray units such as
Graco Model 744 or Speedflo HydraM 4000. Equivalent equipment from
other manufacturers may also be used.
Clean up equipment with mineral spirits.
Apply when temperature is 40°F and rising. Wash-off resistance is
dependent on temperature . . . 3-4 hours at 70°F, 12 at 40°F. Do
not apply over moisture or frost.
