Application steps

APPLICATION

  • Mix thoroughly before use.
  • Treat the perimeter of the block paving area first.
  • Apply the first coat by roller, spreading liberally and uniformly, making sure the Sika® Block Paving Seal does not puddle.
  • During application always ensure a wet edge is maintained to avoid a striping affect.
  • Repeat the process leaving a maximum of 24 hours between coats.
  • Apply the second coat at right angles to the first.
  • Do not over-apply.
  • Allow at least 6 hours before pedestrian traffic and 24 hours for vehicle.
  • Protect from moisture during curing.
  • It is always recommended that a trial area be treated to ascertain an accurate measure of consumption and to ensure the finished appearence is acceptable.

CLEANING OF TOOLS
