You can apply the stain with a hand sprayer, brush, sponge or mop. We recommend that you use an ALL plastic sprayer.

Before using it with the stain, test the sprayer with water for a moderate spray pattern before using in work area. You do not want to use a fan tip when applying the stain. Use a tip that that has a conical spray pattern. Normally, two coats of stain are required. You need to leave the stain on for a minimum of 4 hours for the best results. 
Use proper safety equipment. This includes hand and eye protection. Always provide adequate ventilation with the use of doors and windows or through the use of ventilation fans.

- 1st application
 Work from closed end corner of work area to point you can step away from stained area without stepping on or in the stained area. Do Not walk on stained areas that are still wet or damp. If you must walk in the stain, use acid resistant spike sandals. If you walk in the stain you will leave prints that will be very difficult to remove, if at all.
 Hold sprayer about 30-60 cm above concrete.
 Rotate the sprayer tip in a CIRCULAR MOTION. Do not use a back and forth motion. This will leave a pattern that will be noticeable, only after the sealer is applied.
 You can work stain into concrete with a plastic bristle brush (chemical resistant, medium stiffness) or with a rag. This will depend on what type of texture you desire in the stain. The rag will help to blend in the stain and will not leave any brush marks that the brush is liable to. The use of the brush or rag helps to produce more vibrant and richer colors.
 When working across a floor that does not have convenient saw-cut lines or other stopping points, you should put a wet edge (a partial brush full of water) on the edge of each stain area. It is advisable not work in neat squares or rectangles. Try to maintain a soft sweeping arc, like a big S. This will help you in keeping a random and natural variation to the floor. You are trying to mimic a natural look and want to avoid a manufactured feel.



Apply the 2nd application in same manner as the 1st application BUT in the opposite direction of the 1st application.

You do not need to rinse the entire floor after the first coat before you apply the second coat.

You may want to rinse off a small section (1m2) to verify that the color (‘s) are consistent with your test section.

Wait 2- 4 hours after the second application before you begin the neutralizing process.
