MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
NORTHERN WATERBASED SKID PROOFER

PRODUCT MIXING: This product comes pre-packaged by weight. Kits should be mixed in their entirety. This product is an emulsion product and should be mixed well before using. Periodically, remix to insure aggregate distribution consistency.

PRODUCT APPLICATION: The mixed material can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. Maintain temperatures within recommended ranges. When the end of the pot life has been reached, you will find that the material becomes hard to apply and will actually tend to roll back up at the roller. Stop application when this happens.

DRY TIME: Light foot traffic16-24 hours at 70 degrees F. Recoat 7-10 hours.


CONCRETE PREPARATION FOR FLOOR COATING:

Acid etching solution will not work properly on greasy, oily, or painted surfaces. This concrete must first be cleaned with either, Northern Aqua-Blue or Northern Scrub-Free, for heavy film buildup removal.

Acid solution should always start at lowest level of a floor usually the drains. Apply in circular fashion out away from drains. Remember acid solution will not work properly when poured on "spent" or "used" acid solution. Acid solution will "foam" or "froth" instantly when poured on the concrete. Slow or no reaction is a sign that the concrete was not ready to be etched. Clean and repeat above procedure.

Muratic and Hydrochloric acids are available commercially at most hardware or pool supply stores. Mix 2 parts water with 1 part acid for good etching. Using a plastic watering sprinkler, apply the mixed acid solution (always add water to the can first) at spread rate of 50 sq. ft. per gallon. Acid solution must be "worked" into the substrate with a stiff bristle broom to completely agitate the floor. Once acid solution stops frothing (approximately 10-15 minutes) flush the remaining solution to drain and rinse floor thoroughly. "Do not let solution dry". Rinse floor a second time with some household ammonia to neutralize any acid residue that might remain.
