Preparation
Make sure that the floor surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and totally free from oil, grease and polish.
- Before work starts on concrete floors, the moisture content should be checked and if it's a new concrete floor, it should be left to mature for several months before painting.
- Concrete surfaces should also be free of dust, grit, cement fines and laitance.
- Very dense smooth concrete surfaces (such as power floated concrete) normally need to be acid etched before painting to allow for a decent adhesion.
Application
Always perform a test on a small inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility, and we recommend following the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
- Stir well before use. You can thin with 5% white spirit on the first coat to help application if necessary
- Apply two coats of the floor paint and allow the first coat to dry overnight.
- Recoat time, in normal conditions is 16-24 hours.
- You can thin with 5% white spirit on the first coat to help application if necessary.
