Apply RockSolid® over tile to give it a sparkling new look!
- Deglaze entire tile surface using 60 to 80 grit sandpaper on a pole or orbital sander. Vacuum all sanding dust from surface using a shop vac. This step is very important.
- Clean entire surface using Acetone or Denatured Alcohol. Rinse using a mop and clean water. Let Dry.
- Burst-Shake-Pour. Roll Side A of Polycuramine® pouch toward Side B. Burst and mix the two parts. Shake well for 2-3 minutes, cut one corner and pour contents in mixing bucket.
- Mix in Metallic Tint. Add metallic tint to bucket of liquid and mix with a stir stick(provided) or paddle mixer for 2-3 minutes until thoroughly mixed.
- Apply Coating. Trim outer edges using a brush and then begin to apply coating in 1.5 x 1.5 m sections. Tip: After rolling out each section, use the roller to put circular patterns in coating (like applying wax to a car) to ensure there are no bare spots. See instructions for working time of product after mixing.
- Apply RockSolid Clear Coat (optional) for added protection and gloss. For a slip-resistant surface, add anti-skid additive prior to application. This is especially recommended for high moisture areas like bathrooms.
- FINISH: If your garage’s surface area requires more than one kit, repeat the above steps with a second kit. Once your garage floor is completely coated, let the floor dry for 8-10 hours for foot traffic (the coating should not be tacky) and 24-36 hours for vehicles. Keep in mind that temperature and humidity may affect drying time. Refer to your kit instructions for more details.
Always thoroughly review instructions before using any product
*For an extra smooth look, use RockSolid® Clear Topcoat as a "primer coat" first to fill in grout lines, followed by RockSolid® Metallic Floor Coating.
**Coverage rates will be reduced due to porosity of the tile substrate
