LIMITATIONS:
- Colors may be affected by high humidity, low temperatures or chemical exposure.
- Product will yellow in the presence of UV light.
- For best results use a 1/4" or 3/8" nap roller.
- Slab on grade requires moisture barrier.
- Substrate temperature must be 5 degrees above dew point.
- All new concrete must be cured for at least 30 days.
- Product color will vary from batch to batch. Therefore, use only product from the same batch for an entire job location.
- Light or bright colors (off white ect.) may require multiple costs or a topcoat to achieve a satisfactory hide, depending on the substrate.
