- Directions For Use
Surface Preparation
Concrete surfaces must be clean, dry and free of oil, dirt, loose scale and any other contaminants. Surfaces shall be swept clean by hand or by mechanical means. Remove oil and grease as completely as possible. New concrete should be at least 28 days old before application. New concrete cured with curing compounds or cure & seals should not be treated until such agents have completely weathered away or been removed by other means.
Mixing
LINSEED OIL TREATMENT is a one-component product that requires no pre-blending before placement. LINSEED OIL TREATMENT should be used directly from the container.
Placement
LINSEED OIL TREATMENT should be applied sparingly in two coats, at the average rate of 300 ft²/gal per coat. Application may be done by a medium nap paint roller or industrial pump-up sprayer, using a wide fan nozzle. The second coat may be applied as soon as the first coat is dry to the touch. In warm, dry weather this requires only one to four hours, but in cool weather, drying times up to 24 hours may be required. The preferred time for application is late afternoon so that when the concrete cools, the compound penetrates deep into the pores. Further treatment is recommended in form of a single application annually on surfaces subject to de-icing chemicals and wear.
