Waterproof Cement Paint

Clean surface thoroughly with a stiff wire brush, to free it from dirt and algae. Previously painted surfaces should be washed or brushed down. If the surface is in flaky or powdery condition, it should be removed by scrapping or wire-brushing. Cement paints should not be applied on non-absorbent surfaces such as glazed bricks or previously painted enamel work. Saturate the surface with clean water several times, and allow excess water to disappear. Mix equal parts by volume of cement paint and water, and apply first coat with long hair brush. Do water-curing after 6-8 hours. Apply second coat 24 hours after application of first coat, and again cure with water after 6 hours. Two coats of Floracem are sufficient for most surfaces. Do not use saline water for mixing or for curing. No waterproofing compounds should be used either as a base coat, additive or top coat. Do not intermix different shades of Floracem. Restrict the use of blue, pink and green shades to interiors as they are liable to fleet on exterior applications. Avoid use of dark shades over large unrelieved areas.
