Natural Shield Application
STAGE 1 – REMOVAL OF DEBRIS
- HOW : Sweep debris off surface and loose surface
PURPOSE : No debris in sealer
- HOW : Use Natural Shield (water-based penetrating sealer)
PURPOSE : Creates flat finish:
1. Penetrating seal w/ chemical reaction
2. Waterproof
3. Moisture mitigation
STAGE 2 – SEALER APPLICATION
- HOW : Apply the sealer with a 1/4” nap roller, HVLP sprayer, pump sprayer, or airless sprayer with tip size 17. Minimum of 3 coats are required to ensure maximum performance
PURPOSE : Ensures proper application. Does not allow to puddle, will create a white haze if puddled
- HOW : Apply the first coat and DO NOT ALLOW THE SEALER TO DRY BEFORE APPLYING SECOND AND THIRD COATS. Do not allow to puddle
PURPOSE : Ensures penetration. If sealer dries before additional coats it may not bond properly
- HOW : Repeat the application to a minimum of 3 coats. Additional coats may be required depending on the porosity of the surface (X-Bond requires, 3 coats only, other surfaces such as concrete or block may require additional coats)
PURPOSE : Avoids hazing – ensures penetration
VERTICAL SURFACES
- HOW : Apply the sealer with a 1/4” nap roller, HVLP sprayer, or airless sprayer with tip size 15. Start application from bottom to top to avoid runs in the sealer. Avoid over-spraying. Minimum of 3 coats is required to ensure maximum performance.
PURPOSE : Ensures proper sealing application, avoids runs in the sealer
