1.  Thoroughly clean the substrate so it is free of all foreign materials such as bond breakers, curing agents, form release oils, dust, construction laitance, drywall residue etc. The surface should be dry before proceeding.

2.  Use a low pressure sprayer to apply the Sher-Crete Dust & Salt Protectant.  Apply to rejection.

3.  Apply enough Sher-Crete Dust & Salt Protectant to form a uniformly wet surface.  Keep the surface wet for 20 minutes.  If the area dries out apply more product.  Apply when surface and air temperature are between 40F to 100F.  In hot, dry or windy conditions dampen concrete before application to prevent flash drying. 

4.  As the product dries spread any puddles using an exploded bristle broom. 

5.  A light residue may form on the surface after it is dry.  This is excess product and it can be removed with a stiff bristle broom, or a burnisher.  If chemical resistance to food acids or oils is desired apply the Sher-Crete Sealer for Stained or Polished Concrete (Formerly Sher-Guard).
