Sakrete brush’n seal

1 KG (2.2 lb) yields approximately 0.93 m² (10 ft²).

Concrete must be fully cured (approximately 28 days) and dry before painting. Refer to paint manufacturer directions for application instructions.

Yes, you should allow the application to harden sufficiently (approximately 3 hours) then fog spray with clean water. Keep the surface continuously damp for 3 days. This step is critical during hot or windy days.

Dampen walls one hour before the application of SAKRETE brush’n seal and allow the moisture to soak in. Immediately prior to application, the surface should be damp, but not dripping. Maintain this damp surface during the entire application. When ready to begin application, a small amount of water may be added if required to bring the mixture to a batter like consistency. Stir mix occasionally during application. After mixing, apply SAKRETE brush’n seal with a semi-stiff nylon bristle brush. Scrub the mix well into the existing surface, ensuring you fill all the pores, and then finish with a final stroke in one direction. For a decorative appearance, mixture can be finished with a sponge or float. If wall becomes dry or mix starts to pull during application, dampen the original surface again. Do not add more water to the mixture. For normal damp proofing, a two-coat application is recommended. Allow the first coat to cure for 24 hours then dampen surface and apply second coat.

Mix approximately 293 mL (10 oz) of potable water per 1 KG (2.2 lb) of product. In a disposable plastic pail, put 1/2 of the required water into the pail first, add the product and then add the rest of the required water. Mix to a pancake batter consistency and then allow the mix to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before applying; avoid a “soupy” mix. A proper mixture should adhere to the brush without dripping.

For walls previously painted with anything other than a cement-based paint use a scraper or wire brush and remove as much material as possible to create a good bond. The more paint removed the better the bond.

Surfaces to be coated must be structurally sound and clean. Remove all delaminated or unsound concrete by chipping with a hammer and chisel or using a stiff wire brush. Repair all cracks and holes with SAKRETE plug-tite. Remove any dirt, sand, dust, paint, etc. by sweeping, vacuuming, scraping or wire brushing as required. Remove all efflorescence, mould, grease, or oil by scrubbing vigorously with a strong detergent solution and flood with large volumes of potable water. Clean the area to be repaired with potable water, leaving the concrete saturated but free of standing water. Some very porous concretes may require several applications of water to ensure complete saturation.

Mix and substrate temperatures should be maintained between +5 °C (40 °F) and +30 °C (86 °F) for at least 24 hours prior to and 48 hours after.
