Application Guidelines
FISHSTONE UV 100% solid primer and topcoat
The 100% solid system is a color enhancing, easy to apply and use system that will provide years of excellent performance.
- Concrete to be sealed should be completely dry(minimum of 6 days from casting), clean and free of contaminants prior to sealing.
- Concrete should not be polished above a 400 grit abrasive. Ideally stop at 200grit to insure good adhesion.
- Be sure to block all stray UV rays or sunlight coming through window or openings as this may cause premature curing of the sealer.
- Solvent-wipe the surface with denatured alcohol or acetone prior to application to remove any contaminates
- Keep area clean & dust free
Primer Application
- Mix product with a stir stick or fan style mixing paddle prior to use
- For maximum results sealer should be around 70 degrees or above, this will help the sealer self level
- Product can be applied up to 4 mils thick and must be cured using an approved UV curing light.
- Rolling-If rolling pour sealer into roller tray then apply using a lint free nap, microfiber or white foam roller. Once coating is applied allow coating to self level for approximately 10-15 minutes. If needed product can be diluted with acetone to reduce viscosity
- Spraying-If spraying using an HVLP sprayer dilute the primer with 10% acetone to reduce viscosity. It is imperative to use an OSHA recommended filter mask( a full face mask is recommended) as although not toxic this product may cause sensitivity to skin and is irritating to eyes, respiratory system. Spraying atomizes the particles making them airborne and more likely to cause discomfort and headaches.
Topcoat Application(Matte or Gloss Version)
- Topcoat can be applied up to 5 mils thick for the gloss version and 3 mils thick for the matte version.
- After applying primer you may sand if needed to remove any dust particles with a 220 grit sandpaper.
- The topcoat is rollable, brushable or sprayable
- All pinholes should be filled with a slurry mix or primer prior to topcoat application
- Wipe surface with Solvent-wipe prior to application after any sanding.
- Mix product with a stir stick or fan style mixing paddle prior to use
- For maximum results sealer should be around 70 degrees or above, this will help the sealer self level
- Rolling(preferred method)-If rolling pour sealer into roller tray then apply using a lint free nap, microfiber or white foam roller. Once coating is applied allow coating to self level for approximately 10-15 minutes to allow it to self-level before curing. If needed product can be diluted with acetone to reduce viscosity
- Spraying-If spraying using an HVLP sprayer dilute the primer with 10% acetone to reduce viscosity. It is imperative to use an OSHA recommended filter mask( a full face mask is recommended) as although not toxic may cause sensitization by skin contact and is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Spraying atomizes the particles making them airborne and more likely to cause discomfort and headaches.
- If you need to recoat the topcoat you must sand the surface first with a 220 grit sandpaper and a solvent wipe.
- Clean up using acetone
Important note: Always test sealer before using on final project. Your application and concrete may be different than someone else and what works for one may not work for another.
