The SEMCO PreStain Color is a water-based, reactive/penetrating color system that provides rich, lasting color on exterior, interior and below grade concrete, masonry and X-Bond Seamless Stone surfaces. This environmentally responsible system creates lasting surface colors. Unique catalytic reactions provide natural, vivid, one-of-a-kind visual designs. Artistry and practicality combine to create beautiful and functional applications.

Integrated chemical adhesion enables mechanical cross-linking to applied surfaces, creating a perfect bond for long lasting protection.

STAGE 1 – PREPRATION OF SURFACE

• HOW : Lightly sand the surface with a 60 grit sanding disk. Clean all debris
  PURPOSE : Removes excess texture and ensures chemical bond

STAGE 2 – APPLICATION OF NATURAL STAIN

• HOW : Using fine pump sprayer, spray light coat of PreStain Base on to surface and avoid large drops. Work in 2 man teams side by side(1 with Pump Sprayer and 1 with HVLP). For concrete surfaces spray thin coats with HVLP.
  PURPOSE : Ensures chemical reaction of Natural Grain effect

• HOW : While still wet apply PreStain Color (PreStain Base and PreStain Activator combined, always stir the contents, avoid shaking) with an HVLP, airless sprayer with tip size 17, or a sprayer that is capable of atomizing liquids. (DO NOT ALLOW PUDDLING)
  PURPOSE : Do not shake to avoid in container reaction. No puddles for even color, must spray with low pressure for a pigment reaction

• HOW : Move across area from left to right as you work your way down the surface, avoid missing any areas of the surface. Avoid stepping in Natural Stain
  PURPOSE : Ensures the finish and color stay consistent

• HOW : The PreStain Color will then begin to dissipate and as the product forms to the contours of the X-Bond surface.
  PURPOSE : Chemical reaction creates the Natural Grain look

• HOW : After drying, check if any area requires touch up. If necessary, lightly fog PreStain Color over areas that require touch up
  PURPOSE : Ensures a nice finish
