511 POROUS PLUS - New Surface Application

NEW SURFACE
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be dry and free of contaminants, including
previously applied sealers, dirt, lime & hard water deposits,
efflorescence, rust and grime.

NEW SURFACE APPLICATION
511 Porous Plus is ready to use. Do not thin. Use only when
air (ambient) temperature is between 32-120°F (0-49°C) Do
not apply in direct sunlight. For exterior applications, do not
apply if rain is expected within 24 hours. Use in a well
ventilated area.

NOTE: Due to the differences of each substrate, several
inconspicuous test patches should be completed to ensure
maximum performance. User must determine suitability of
the product for their intended use.

Before Grouting: Apply 511 Porous Plus to the surface only
of your substrate prior to grouting. This step will allow quick
and easy cleanup after grouting. Grout can stain many
surfaces if this procedure is not used prior to the grouting
process. Apply 511 Porous Plus using a Miracle Sealants
Mira Brush or a clean, lint free rag. Apply enough to wet the
surface. Be careful not to saturate the open grout joints.
Allow 511 Porous Plus to stand for approximately 3-5
minutes for maximum penetration. All excess must be
removed at this time by buffing surface with a clean, lint free
rag. This step is very important, as removing excess sealant
is necessary for all substrates.

Allow 511 Porous Plus to cure for 6-12 hours before
continuing with the grouting procedure. For very porous
substrates apply another application after the previous
application has dried 2-3 hours.

After Grouting: Once grouted, make sure that all grout
residue is removed from the surface with a clean sponge
and water. Allow grout to fully cure per manufacturer’s
specification. If grout clean-up is not performed effectively,
an additional cleaning may be necessary to remove
remaining grout residue or haze. For this procedure use the
appropriate Miracle Sealants cleaner for the grout you have
installed: Phosphoric Acid Cleaner, (HDAC) Heavy Duty
Acidic Cleaner (Hydrochloric Acid), Miracle Heavy Duty
Cleaner or Epoxy Grout Film Remover, following the
instructions carefully.

Once the grout has completely cured, proceed with the
sealing of the grout for water and stain resistance. Apply 511
Porous Plus to all (appropriate) grout (some grout will
require the use of a water based sealant, for those
installations use 511 Water-Base or 511 H2O Plus) with a
paint brush. Any excess sealer that gets on the surface of
the stone or tile should be wiped off with a clean, lint free rag
before it dries.

NOTE: On larger jobs grout can be sealed by retreating the
entire area including the tile or stone surface a second time.
Be careful not to allow the sealer to puddle or dry on presealed surfaces.
