All surfaces to be coated must be clean and free of dirt, dust, oil, grease, loose scale, laitance, efflorescence and other contaminants.

Patch all holes and cracks in concrete and masonry with Vinyl Cement Patch or UP 2000.

Stop active water leaks with U-Plug. Exterior masonry walls and interior of perimeter basement walls should be waterproofed with U-Seal and allowed to cure for a minimum 48 hours.

APPLICATION

Stir Weather Guard well and use as it comes from the factory.

For some spray applications it may be necessary to thin the Weather Guard slightly. Use only clean water. No more than 1/2 pint (250ml) of water per 5 gallon (18.9L) pail, since thinning will have a detrimental effect on colour density.

Use a full bodied roller or brush designed specifically for applying acrylic paints.

If the weather is very hot, dry or windy, or if the wall surface is very hot or very porous, dampen the wall surface slightly prior to application of Weather Guard.

Apply Weather Guard in an approved manner taking care to avoid lapmarks. The quick drying feature of Weather Guard allows the second coat to be applied within 1 to 2 hours.

CLEAN UP

Wash brushes, rollers or spray equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water.

Note: In order to provide maximum protection and durability a base coat of U-Seal applied to concrete block or poured concrete at exterior above grade locations or at below grade interior locations is recommended.

LIMITATIONS

Do not apply Weather Guard at temperatures below 10°C (50°F). Do not apply over frozen or frost-filled surfaces. Do not apply over chalking or dusting surfaces.
