Prospect Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 SURFACE PREPARATION Bare Concrete: Allow freshly placed concrete to cure at least 28 days before applying product. All concrete should be clean and free of laitance, oil, grease and mildew. If mold, mildew or fungus is present, remove with a solution of 1 cup household bleach to 1 gallon of water. Wear protective eyewear, waterproof gloves, and protective clothing. Quickly wash off any of the mixture that comes in contact with your skin. Do not add detergents or ammonia to the bleach/water solution. All concrete surfaces must be etched with H&C™CONCRETEREADY™ Etching Solution or muriatic acid, following label directions. After proper etching, the surface should feel like 120-grit sandpaper. If not, then etch again. Wait 24 hours before staining and sealing. Prepared concrete should have a pH level of 6 to 10. Previously Painted or Stained Concrete: Make sure all previously painted or stained surfaces are in sound condition. Scrape and sand all loose material prior to the application of the H&C® CLARISHIELD™ Water-Based Wet- Look Concrete Sealer. To ensure adequate adhesion of the sealer, scuff sand all remaining stain or paint.* Reapplication of the stain or coating may be necessary to create an even, uniform appearance. To remove light soil from the surface, use H&C™CONCRETEREADY™Cleaner Degreaser mixed to a 50/50 ratio with water. To remove heavy oil and grease stains, use the cleaner full strength. *WARNING: Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. To avoid exposure to lead dust, wear proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and follow proper containment and cleanup procedures.
