Usage SummaryBlank space if empty.
Preparation† (Proper surface preparation is required.)Blank space if empty.
  • All surfaces must be clean, sound, dry uncoated and free of any dirt, oil and grease.
  • New concrete must cure for a minimum of 30 days.
  • Use a paint stripper to remove any previous coatings or sealers.
  • Clean and etch surface using a product such as a muriatic acid etcher (read and follow all manufacturer's label directions) to achieve a textured profile similar to 150 grit sandpaper.
  • Wipe your fingers over the clean, dry floor to check for dust or powder. Ensure there is no residue on your fingers that may have been left from the etcher. If residue is found, rinse the surface to remove residue. Allow the surface to dry completely. Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface. If water is quickly absorbed and the surface feels like 150 grit sandpaper, the surface is ready. If not, re-etch.
  • Apply a product such as BEHR PREMIUM® No. 880 Concrete and Masonry Bonding Primer to increase adhesion of topcoat to the surface. Follow all label instructions.
