Water-based blackstone impregnating sealer.
The Blackstone restore is for restoring the appearance of all types of faded dark natural
and artificial stone including limestone, marble, slate, and
concrete pavers.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Preparation: Ensure surface to be treated is completely clean,
dry, and free from dirt, grime, cement, and grout. If necessary,
first wash surfaces with a dilute solution of ECOPROTEC
Intensive Cleaner 1:5 and scrub with a white nylon pad. Rinse
well to remove residues and leave to dry.
Application: Wear gloves and ensure that any surfaces not to
be treated are covered and protected.
IMPORTANT: This product is a permanent staining solution
that will darken the surface of the stone and the grout joints
making it very difficult to remove once applied. It is an
impregnating sealer that needs to fully absorb into the stone.
It is not film forming, so any excess left on the surface should
be removed. Always test on a small area before general
application to help establish best method and optimum
number of coats required. Do not walk on treated surfaces
until the solution has completely dried.
Shake bottle well before use. Work in manageable areas at a
time as far as you can reach without stepping into the solution.
Apply a small amount to the surface and spread out evenly
using a sealant applicator, foam roller or paint brush.
Allow to penetrate the stone. If a second coat is required apply
immediately after the first has absorbed. Do not allow the first
coat to fully dry before application.
Do not walk on the surface for at least 4 hours after the final
application. Once dry and to help ensure an even application it
may be necessary to work off any visible excess using a dry
towel.
Allow newly treated surfaces to cure for 24 hours. If
necessary, wash surfaces with a 1 : 10 dilute solution of
ECOPROTEC Intensive Cleaner. This will help to remove any
excess that is difficult to rub off. Before allowing traffic gently
rub the surface in a few areas with white cloth or paper towel
to make sure that it is colorfast.
Do not use when surfaces are very cold or very hot. Ideally
between 5 – 25°C.
