HE KORERO HUA

Application Tools: 

Application by brush or broom (house type synthetic) is preferred. Airless spray gun. Roller (short nap pile 4-6mm) for use on smooth surfaces.  

​

Applying Stain:  Apply the product as mixed directly from the pail (or from either a suitable container for solvent) using the mixing tables for the relevant age or type of substrate. Ideally, apply using a brush or broom (house type synthetic) so you “work" the sealer into the surface to assist with penetration. If applying with a roller, take care to avoid over-rolling and only apply thin coats as excessive amounts of sealer can leave roller marks due to the fast-drying nature of the product, over-rolling or if the surface is too hot during application can give a cobweb effect.  

 

Stir thoroughly to ensure uniformity by using a “bottom to top” mixing action before application. For the coloured stains stir contents until you get a uniform colour mix, check by doing a visual test on the stirring equipment. The coloured sealer needs to be stirred regularly (approximately every 5 minutes) to ensure uniformity of colour throughout the sealing process. It is advisable to pre-mix enough sealer for each coat to ensure uniformity of colour or at least ensure you have the same batch of tinter. 

​

Number of coats:

We recommend two coats following the application table recommendation for the substrate. Additional coats can cause surfaces to be slippery. To avoid slip hazards the addition of 50 g/L of AP Non-slip Additive may be required for a glaze finish on smooth walk-on surfaces.  

 

Drying time & recoating:

EASY SEAL CONCRETE STAIN/SEALER will be touch dry in approximately 30 minutes and can be recoated after 2 hours. Avoid foot traffic for 4 hours and vehicle traffic for 48 hours. Note: Drying times will vary depending on temperature and humidity conditions at the time of application.  

 

Using Tinters:

Add the entire contents of the EASY SEAL Tint Pack colour to the EASY SEAL CONCRETE STAIN/SEALER Tint Base to achieve full colour. Stir thoroughly to ensure uniformity by using a "bottom to top” mixing action. Then check by doing a visual test on the stirring equipment. The coloured sealer needs to be stirred regularly (approximately every 5 minutes) to ensure uniformity of colour throughout the sealing process. It is advisable to pre-mix enough sealer for each coot to ensure uniformity of colour or at least ensure you have the same batch of tinter. Add the entire pack for full colour.
