WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Watco Chemi-Coat
• Watco Painting Kit:
• 12" Roller, Frame & Handle
• Plastic Scuttle
• 5" Paint Brush & 2" Paint Brush
• Mixing Stick
• Electric Drill fitted with Mixing Blade

STEP 1 - PREPARATION

• Thoroughly clean the surface to ensure it is free of dust and dirt
• If the concrete is new or bare, remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean
• Watco Bio-D can be used to remove grease and oil from painted surfaces

STEP 2 - MIXING

• Remove the two inner tins
• Stir the contents of the tins thoroughly
• Pour the mixed components into the larger outer tin
• Mix thoroughly with a mixing blade until even in colour and consistency
• Once mixed, a chemical reaction occurs, raising the temperature and speeding up the curing process
• Pour the coating into a plastic scuttle for immediate use

STEP 3 - APPLICATION  

• Use a paint brush to cut in around the edges of the surface
• Apply a single coat using a medium pile (not foam) roller
• Best results are obtained in warm conditions (minimum 15°C)
• Chemi-Coat can also be applied vertically with two thin coats
