Application
Dilute first coat up to 25% and apply uniformly to surface, work into pores using a soft bristle broom, roller, brush or spray. Spread surplus liquid to new area and continue application. Do not leave any thick liquid film as it may dry opaque. After drying, a second undiluted coat should be applied to seal surfaces uniformly.
Coverage
Usage is 6-7 m2/litre, dependant on porosity of surface.
