The SealGreen Tintable Concrete Sealer is intended to be mixed with SealGreen Color Stains to stain plain concrete with color and seal at the same time. The Tintable Sealer once mixed with color stain is ONLY to be used on non-previously sealed concrete and only on broom finished surfaces. This solution provides a matte finish.
1. You need to clean the concrete surface with SealGreen Color Stain Primer. After washing allow the concrete to dry for 8 hours.
2. SealGreen Tintable Sealer Concentrate is mixed with plain water according to the instructions on the back of the bottle.
3. Once the Tintable Sealer Concentrate is mixed with water it will be used to mix with the SealGreen Concentrate Color Stain.
4. 1-Quart of SealGreen Concentrate Color Stain will be mixed with 4-quarts of mixed Tintable Sealer. This mix will produce 1-1/4 Gallons of applicable color stain. Average coverage is 250 square feet.
5. 1-quart of color concentrate mixed with less Tintable Sealer will increase the intensity of the color. The minimum mix is 1-quart color to 1-quart of mixed Tintable Sealer.
6. 1-quart of color concentrate mixed with more Tintable Sealer will dilute the intensity of the color. The maximum mix is 1-quart color to 20-quarts mixed Tintable Sealer.
7. Do not to do more than two applications of the color mixed with Tintable Sealer.
8. Typically, you will do a main application, let dry and then do a second lighter application to balance areas that may need more color.
9. The application is accomplished by using a hand pump garden sprayer with a fan tip. This will provide a variegated color/seal application.
10. If less variation is desired spray the surface with the color stain/Tintable Sealer mix and immediately follow (do not let dry) with a roller that has ½ inch nap. Usually, two people participate in this process.
11. To calculate how much product, you will need read next:
a. Calculate how many total square feet area you plan to treat
i. Example the are is 10 feet length by 10 feet with equals 100 square feet
b. For every 250 square feet you will need 1-quart of color concentrate
i. Example 1000 Square feet area will require 4-quarts of Color stain
c. You will need 2-quarts of SealGreen Tintable Sealer Concentrate. 2-Quarts when mixed with water makes 20-quarts of Tintable sealer mixed.
i. Example: Mix 1-quart of color concentrate with 4-quarts of mixed Tintable Sealer to cover 250 square feet. For a project of 1000 square feet you will need 16-quarts of mixed Tintable Sealer -that is 4-quarts color concentrate times 4-quarts of mixed Tintable Sealer equals 16-quarts of ready-to-apply Tintable Sealer.
d. Once all this is mixed you are ready to apply color/sealer to your concrete surface.
