Surface Preparation

Read entire label before using. Use only as directed. Always test in a small inconspicuous area with a 24-hour cure time to determine ease of application and desired results. Allow new grout installations to cure for a minimum of 72 hours prior to application. May also be used as a pre-grout sealer. Make sure surface is clean and free of waxes and coatings. Sealer may be applied to damp surfaces one hour after standing water has been removed. Surface temperature should be between 50°F and 80°F (10°C and 27°C). Ensure that the area is well-ventilated during application and until the surface is dry. Keep children and pets out of the area until treated surface is dry

Directions

  1. Ensure cap is closed and sealed, and shake well before use.
  2. Mask off surfaces not intended to be treated.
  3. Liberally apply an even coat of STONETECH® BulletProof Sealer using a paint pad, roller, brush or low-pressure sprayer.
  4. Allow sealer to penetrate the surface for 10-15 minutes. During this time, keep the surface wet with sealer, adding more sealer as needed. DO NOT ALLOW SEALER TO COMPLETELY DRY ON THE SURFACE.
  5. Thoroughly wipe dry the entire surface with clean absorbent towels.
  6. A second coat may be needed for porous, absorbent surfaces. If a second coat is required, it should be applied within 30-40 minutes from the initial application as directed in steps 3 - 5.
  7. Should a sealer residue appear, rewet the impacted section of the surface with sealer. Agitate the surface with a white nylon scrubbing pad to loosen residue and wipe dry with a clean, absorbent towel.
  8. A full cure is achieved in 24-72 hours. Use of the treated surface may resume in 6-8 hours. If use of the surface must resume sooner, cover the treated surface with red rosin paper to protect it until full cure has been achieved.
  9. Clean tools used during application with water.

Expected Wear

  • Up to 5 years on interior surfaces
  • Up to 3 years on exterior surfaces
Maintenance

Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, or abrasive cleaners are not necessary for daily maintenance and may also degrade the STONETECH sealer used, adversely affecting stain resistance. Tile and stone routine cleaning with a neutral pH cleaner such as STONETECH Stone & Tile Cleaner is recommended. For tough or difficult to remove soil use STONETECH KlenzAll™ Cleaner, a nylon scrubbing pad or a long handled stiff bristle brush. Please note: Prior to using any cleaning material on a tile, stone, etc. installation, test a discrete area or scrap piece of tile to insure desired results.
