Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, dirt and grease. For stubborn stains, wipe with acetone on a lint-free cloth and let the surface dry completely. Maintain a temperature between 8°C and 23°C before applying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication steps emphasize multiple coats. If you apply the sealer outdoors, ensure no rain is forecast for at least four hours. Start by evenly coating the surface with a short\/medium pile roller, saturating without pooling. A 4-inch mini roller helps minimize liquid uptake. Allow 10–20 minutes to dry between coats, then apply a second and a third coat (the second and third coats require less product). If you have sealed before, 1–2 maintenance coats may suffice. Between coats, wait 2–3 hours before touching the surface; 24 hours before final use. Always test a small area first before applying to the entire surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne liter typically covers about 5–8 m2, depending on surface roughness and porosity.
