Surface Preparation & Application Procedure

Surface must be completely clean and dry to the touch. Remove all dirt, wax, old paints or sealers with appropriate cleaners, chemical strippers, or abrasive blasting. For most dirt and lightly rusted or oily surfaces, we recommend using our PerfectCleaner®. SlabTight® is best applied using a roller in two thin coats. The second coat can be applied as soon as the first coat is dry to the touch. Back roll or back brush any pooling. Spray application with an HVLP sprayer or fine mist pump sprayer followed by with a 1/8” nap back roll is recommended. Brushing or using a 1/8” nap roller can be used but the sealer dries very quickly and the brush or roller would have to be rinsed every time there is a stoppage in application. Make sure that the application equipment is clean. Apply the sealer with a medium spray pattern. Because the sealer dries very quickly it is best to apply in several thin coats rather than one heavy one when a thicker film is needed. A visual color change indicates that the sealer is dry enough for an additional coat if needed. Clean application immediately with soap and water. Dried on product will require a strong solvent like acetone or MEK.
