Application Tip:

Check for presence of a concrete sealer before applying EPOXYSHIELD. Drip a few drops of water on the surface; if it beads, a sealer is present and the coating may not adhere properly.

Uses:

EPOXYShield Solvent-based Epoxy Professional Floor Coating is a two component, high solids, epoxy coating designed for high traffic areas on concrete floors in mild to moderate environments. It can be used on primed steel decking or previously coated floors which are in good sound condition. It is not intended for use on unsound previous coatings or floors that have a moisture problem.

Instructions:

• Prepare the surface:
• Sweep away loose dirt and concrete.
• Clean heavy oil stains.
• Etch with concrete etch (sold separately) following manufacturer’s application directions.

Mix:

• Stir the contents in each can thoroughly.
• Pour part B into a 5 gallon bucket, then add part A. Mix well.

Application:

• Use a brush or edger to trim the perimeter.
• Use a long handled roller to apply an even coat of garage floor coating onto the surface.
• Apply in 4’x4’ sections so the decorative paint chips can easily be scattered into the freshly coated surface.

Product Application:

Surface Preparation
Allow new concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days. Remove any oil spots, grease or spills and wash the floor with a suitable detergent or degreasing solution and rinse. The concrete must be free of curing agents or sealers. Etch the floor with Concrete Etch. Test for a sealer by lightly sprinkling water on the surface of the concrete. If the water droplets bead up rather than soak into the concrete, then there is some type of sealer present. The sealer will have to be removed by alternate method of surface preparation, such as sanding or grinding. PREVIOUSLY COATED FLOORS: Make sure the floor is clean and dry. Use a wire brush to remove any loose or peeling paint or stain. If floor is sealed, the sealer will have to be removed by sanding or grinding. To ensure proper adhesion, scuff sand the entire surface.

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.
