DESCRIPTION AND USES
RockSolid High Gloss Wet Look Lacquer seals and protects concrete and masonry surfaces from the damaging effects of water, chemicals and UV light. This solvent-based formula forms an extremely durable, protective barrier to keep water out, protect against stains and extend the life of the concrete surface. The “wet look” finish beautifies decorative concrete, stone, pavers and masonry surfaces. Application is quick and easy using a solvent-resistant pump sprayer or paint roller.
High Gloss Wet Look Lacquer is suitable for use on interior and exterior concrete and masonry surfaces including previously stained or sealed concrete, pavers, stone, slate, tile, stucco and more. Do not use on asphalt. High Gloss Wet Look Lacquer is ideal for driveways, walkways, porches, patios, pool decks and more. If topcoating freshly stained concrete, no surface preparation is necessary. See stain labels for recommended topcoat times. Note: Surfaces previously sealed with RockSoild High Gloss Wet Look Lacquer may be sealed again with this product.

PRODUCT APPLICATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING PROJECT
SURFACE PREPARATION
Proper surface preparation is critical to achieve best results. Allow newly poured concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days. Sweep away all loose dirt, debris and remove any vegetation that could interfere with application and performance. If necessary, use a wire brush or sander to remove any loose or unsound concrete or masonry. Remove any efflorescence with RockSolid Efflorescence Remover (sold separately). Clean the entire surface, including any oil or grease spots, with RockSolid Heavy Duty Cleaner (sold separately). Scrub with a stiff bristle brush or broom. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. A power washer is preferred. Repeat as necessary to completely clean and rinse. Allow to dry completely before sealing. Hazing may occur if lacquer is applied to a damp surface.
APPLICATION
RockSolid High Gloss Wet Look Lacquer is ready to use. Do not thin. Use only when air (ambient) temperature is between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and the relative humidity is below 85% during the day and night. Do not apply in direct sunlight. Do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours. Use in a well ventilated area.
Mask adjacent surfaces to allow spray application up to all edges. Protect delicate foliage from overspray. Apply using a solvent-resistant pump sprayer with an adjustable spray tip. Shake or swirl container to mix product. Fill solvent resistant pump sprayer with sealer, then fully pressurize the sprayer. Set the spray tip to a medium-fine mist and spray 10-12” from the surface. An alternate method is to apply with a ⅜” or ½” nap roller from a paint tray. Do not pour the sealer directly on the surface or allow to puddle.
Apply the sealer evenly, using a circular or oval pattern to saturate the surface. Start and stop the sprayer just off the work area to prevent drips. For larger areas, work in 6’x6’ sections at a time before moving to the next section. Apply a saturating coat so the surface remains wet for several minutes before sealer is absorbed. Wait 5-10 minutes, then back roll with a ⅜” to ½” nap roller to pick up any puddles and soften overlap marks. A second coat is recommended for more porous surfaces. Wait until the first coat is dry to the touch and follow the same application method and back roll. Occasional touch-up or recoat may be necessary for areas subject to heavy foot or vehicle traffic.
COVERAGE
Each gallon covers 200 square feet (single coat). The actual coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the surface. Dense surfaces will require only one coat. Porous surfaces may require additional coats.
DRY TIME
Dry time is based on 70°F and 50% relative humidity. Allow longer dry time at lower temperatures and higher humidity. Wet Look Lacquer will dry to the touch in 30 minutes. Allow a minimum of 2 hours for foot traffic. Wait 24-48 hours before returning heavy items, furniture and vehicles. The surface will be fully cured in 72 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Wash tools and equipment with mineral spirits or lacquer thinner. Clean spills with mineral spirits or lacquer thinner. Properly dispose of all soiled rags and unused product.
