Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ready Products on old concrete?
Yes, Ready Products can be used on both new and old concrete surfaces. For old concrete, keep the surface clean and free of contaminants before applying the concrete sealer, acid wash or thinner to achieve the best results.
How do I apply Ready concrete sealers?
Applying Ready concrete sealers is straightforward. Here are the detailed steps:
- Clean the concrete surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil or debris. Use a pressure washer for best results, and allow the surface to dry completely.
- If using the sealer on new concrete, treat the surface with Ready Acid Wash, a popular concrete acid wash in New Zealand, to remove latence and salts. Follow the detailed instructions for applying acid wash.
- Stir the sealer well before use to ensure an even consistency.
- Use a roller or sprayer to apply the sealer evenly across the concrete surface. Apply in thin, even coats to avoid pooling and ensure thorough coverage.
- Allow the first coat to dry completely, typically for 24 hours. Avoid foot traffic on the surface during this time.
- Apply a second coat if necessary, following the same method. Allow it to dry completely.
- Let the concrete sealer cure fully before exposing the surface to heavy traffic or harsh weather conditions. This can take up to 72 hours.
By following these steps, you will achieve a durable and long-lasting finish on your concrete surfaces.
