SPECIFICATIONS

SURFACE PREPARATION

1.      The concrete must be structurally sound. Remove all foreign matter from the original surface: dirt, oil, algae, cement latents or other contaminants.

2.      Remove all sealants, membranes and built-up systems.

3.      The surface should have a rough wooden-float finish. If the surface is polished use muriatic acid, a water-blasting or a sandblasting machine to roughen up the surface. Please take all necessary protective measures when handling acid.

4.      Cold joints, construction joints, and cracks greater than 1/10 of an inch should be chipped out approximately ½ inch wide x ½ inch deep or to sound concrete.

MIXING CONSISTENCIES

SLURRY PAINT CONSISTENCY:

1.      Use separate container to measure the water and WET-SEAL powder. Mix no more material as can be applied within 20-30 minutes (the time it takes to apply a 5 gal. bucket of WET-SEAL).

2.      Per 5 gallon bucket: pour 7 gallon of the water per bucket of WET-SEAL. Always add the product to the water (not vice versa).

3.      Small Quantities: Add 2 parts WET-SEAL to 3 parts water. Stir thoroughly and frequently, to maintain the slurry consistency during the application.

4.      IMPORTANT NOTE: Use rubber gloves and goggles, when mixing manually.

MORTAR CONSISTENCY

1.      Add water to a cup full of WET-SEAL or no more than can be used within 20 minutes.

2.      SPECIAL WET-SEAL MORTAR: ideal to reduce acceleration and avoid shrinkage of the material. Add one (1) part of fine sand to one (1) part of WET-SEAL.

3.      Work the mixture with a trowel or knead about one minute to reach a firm mortar consistency.

4. Apply to leaking crack or hole with continued pressure until the plug or patch holds by itself. It will set within a few (1-3) minutes. 

COVERAGE
             A Five (5) gallon, 55 pounds of finished product bucket of WET-SEAL covers:
             400 square feet (concrete with wooden float finish)
             300-350 sq.ft. (rougher surface: exposed aggregate )
             450-500 sq. ft. (polished surface: must be etched)

PRECAUTION: Avoid direct and continuous contact with the mixture as the cement and other chemicals may cause skin irritation. Use rubber gloves and goggles. Wash thoroughly after use. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with clean water. Do not rub eyes. If irritation persists, contact a physician. Keep out of children's reach.

APPLICATION

SLURRY PAINT CONSISTENCY:

Use a nylon bristle brush or push-broom to apply the slurry solution.

1.      Apply WET-SEAL slurry paint consistency over raw concrete or cement blocks, which have been moistened prior to application as per specifications.

2.      Coat the surface evenly and completely, but eliminate all excess of the solution.

3.      Immediately after coating, fill-in all chipped-out cracks, cold joints, construction joints, honeycombed areas and the holes with Portland cement mortar. Fill-in in laminating layers no thicker than one inch.

4.      Tanks, cisterns and foundation walls should be coated twice: "wet-on-wet". The second coat should be applied once the first reaches its initial set (within the hour). If the first coat dries, moisten before applying the second.

"Dry/Float" (integration of WET-SEAL powder onto new concrete slab): Upon initial setting, sprinkle WET-SEAL onto surface either by broadcasting or sifting with a fine mesh sieve. Quantity: 2 pounds of WET-SEAL per square yard. Work into the slab with a wooden-float, trowel-float or power trowel (for a polished and dust-free surface).

THE CURING PROCESS

1.      Allow the treatment a 24-hour drying period. Protect from rain during this period.

2.      Protect the treatment from heavy traffic and direct pressurized water hosing for 5 days.

3.      24 hours after completing the application initiate the curing process by: "flooding" the area with at least a ½ inch of water for a minimum of 5 days or until cured. If "flooding" is not possible, saturate the area 2-3 times daily for a period of at least 1 week or allow rainwater to cure the concrete over a longer duration.

4. thoroughly and proceed to fill the structure with potable water.
