Application Bond It PATIO SEAL is ready to use, and does not require diluting. We advise that you test this product on a small inconspicuous area prior to use to check compatibility. SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Ensure that the surface is completely dry. Apply a single coat using either a brush, roller or squeegee, ensuring no pooling or ponding occurs. Allow 3-4 hours drying time before trafficking the area. Application temperature between 5o C and 30o C. Colder humid conditions will slow drying times. PATIO SEAL dries clear but over application or using on damp surfaces can lead to white discolouration. Application Notes It is necessary to seal paviours prior to the application of any pointing or jointing compound. Some compounds have the capability of staining porous paving materials. Ensure PATIO SEAL has completely cured prior to pointing. Do not apply PATIO SEAL to any uncured wet pointing or to any dry mix cement compound. If applying PATIO SEAL to new paviours ensure a sufficient period of weathering (as recommended by the paving manufacturer) has elapsed in order to avoid efflorescence. Paviors can be resealed using a single coat of PATIO SEAL, if it is necessary. This can be determined by a small porosity test to the surface in an inconspicuous area. We suggest an area be subjected to a sprinkling of water via a watering can with rose attachment, if the water beads then a further application is not necessary as the seal is still intact. However, if the water is absorbed by the patio surface re-application can be performed. For patios with unknown treatments we would also suggest using the same test method to determine suitability. Adverse reactions can be caused if PATIOSEAL is used over other existing sealers or treatments so should be avoided at all times. Avoid over application in all circumstances.
