To use Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice, you apply it to the surface and allow it to penetrate before wiping it dry.
Using a sealer like Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice is a key step in protecting natural stone, tile, and grout surfaces from stains. The process involves a simple application and drying procedure to ensure the sealer effectively penetrates and seals the material.
Step-by-Step Application Guide
Applying Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice is straightforward. Follow these steps for best results:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any residue or previous coatings.
- Apply the Sealer: Apply the sealer evenly using a paint pad applicator, sponge, or brush.
- Allow Penetration: Let the sealer penetrate the surface for up to 5 minutes. This allows the protective elements to soak into the pores of the material.
- Wipe Dry: After the penetration time, wipe the surface completely dry using clean, dry cotton, paper, or microfiber towels. It is crucial to wipe the surface completely dry after each application to remove excess sealer before it dries on the surface.
- Additional Coats: Porous surfaces may require additional applications. If the surface absorbs the first coat quickly and still appears wet in some areas after wiping, a second or third application might be necessary. Repeat steps 2-4 for subsequent coats.
- Cure Time: Allow the sealer to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically found on the product label) before exposing the surface to heavy traffic or moisture.
Important Tips for Sealing
- Always test the sealer in an inconspicuous area first to ensure desired results.
- Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
- Do not apply in direct sunlight or when the surface is hot.
- Clean applicators immediately after use.
By following these steps, you can effectively use Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice to provide long-lasting protection for your surfaces.
