A diamond grinder is a floor preperation machine that grinds the concrete surface with diamond abrasive blades, which is important to open the concrete pours to ensure a strong mechanical bond with the primer used. The next step involves patching any cracks or divots with 100% epoxy patch which is typically completed at no extra cost.

Once the floor is completely patched, the primer is first applied to promote strong adhesion and to prevent moisture or air from coming up through the next layer of epoxy base coating applied after the primer coat is dry. Once the primer is ready for re-coat, the solvent based epoxy base coat is applied and color chips are added sequentially to the surface in even dispersion.Wood Floor Care Wax Day 2 - All of the loose flakes are swept up and any high or low points are knocked down to ensure a smooth surface prior to the top clear coat being applied.

Due to a wide variety of substrates, preparation and application methods and environments, test the product in an inconspicuous area for adhesion and compatibility prior to full scale application.  All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of grease, oil, paint, sealers etc.  Use H&C Cleaner Degreaser following the label directions, rinse thoroughly and allow the surface to dry. New concrete must cure for 28 days.  All horizontal concrete (new or old), must be etched with H&C Etching Solution first for proper adhesion, follow label instructions carefully. For very smooth, or highly troweled surfaces with little or no porosity, use H&C Etching Solution at full strength.  Do not etch painted surfaces, the previous coating must be removed prior to applying H&C Concrete Sealer Solid Color Solvent-based. For the best waterproofing protection, patch and repair cracks and crevices where water can enter.  On floor surfaces, use appropriate patching material, but keep in mind that patching compounds will generally be visible through clear coatings.

*Apply under dry conditions only!  Do not apply if rain is expected within 12 hours following application. *Air and surface temperature should be between 50° and 90° during application and for 24 hours following. Sweep the surface with a broom immediately prior to applying, to ensure no foreign substances or particles have fallen on it.  Stir thoroughly before and during application.  Do NOT reduce H&C Concrete Sealer Solid Color Solvent-based. If you need to "cut in" the corners or edges, do that first with your brush.  Use your roller to evenly apply the remainder of the surface, working in one direction.  Do not overwork the product - brushing or rolling back over partially dried material may cause lifting of the coating from the surface. Allow the product to dry 12 hours before applying the second coat (if necessary).  Again, being careful not to overwork the product, apply in the OPPOSITE direction of the first coat (perpendicular). Dry to the touch: 15 minutes
