Frequently Asked Questions

Why is E-Z Stone better than paint?
Because, unlike paint, it is made out of a strong stone coating that, if applied properly, will not flake or peel.

Will chemicals, oil or gasoline damage the surface?
E-Z Stone will resist most household chemicals, oil, gasoline and de-icing salts.
Prompt clean-up required.

What can I do to make it last longer on outdoor applications?
We recommend re-sealing driveways or heavy traffic areas every two years.
In winter use plastic shovel when removing snow.

Can I change the colour of the Stone Coat?
You can intermix the core colours or tint the primer. Do not add pigment to the
Stone Coat. The primer can be tinted to achieve a grout effect.

How thick can I apply the Stone Coat?
1.6mm to 3mm (1/16” to 1/8”) should be ideal; large cracks and depressions should
be filled and cured prior to application of primer. Two coats of the Stone Coat at
1.6mm (1/16”) each are recommended.

Can I use E-Z Stone on countertops?
E-Z Stone can be applied to a variety of countertops. We do not recommend that it be applied to kitchen countertops or food preparation areas.

Note: If E-Z Stone is to be applied to a kitchen countertop or food preparation area you should seal the stone coating with E-Z Stone Countertop Coating. This 2 part Clear epoxy coating meets Canadian Food Inspection Agency requirements and should be used in place of the E-Z Stone Sealer when sealing kitchen countertops or food preparation areas.

Will E-Z Stone last a long time?
With proper application and maintenance E-Z Stone will provide years of lasting
beauty.

What shall I do with the floor or surface hairline cracks?
The Prime Coat, when applied properly on sound surfaces, will fill up the hairline
cracks, providing a smooth surface for the E-Z Stone Coating.

When is the best time to remove the tape used for creating patterns?
We recommend waiting until the coating has dried - approximately 24 hours.

What should I use to clean the E-Z Stone Coating surface?
After sweeping the dirt you may use a wet mop or, for accumulated dirt a mild detergent followed by a spray from a garden hose. Power washers and wet vacuum
cleaners are very effective.

How long will the curing time take?
While the average time is 24 hours, weather conditions can influence it. Cool and
damp weather can extend the curing time. Areas lacking proper ventilation can also
extend the curing time.

Is the EZ Stone Protective Sealer suitable for use on other surfaces?
E-Z Stone Protective Sealer can be used on concrete and paving stones, indoors
and outdoors.

Can E-Z Stone be repaired?
E-Z Stone can be easily repaired by applying the Stone Coating to the damaged
area. Once the Stone Coating has cured, apply a coat of Protective Sealer.
