  • Surface Preparation

    1. Prior to application always test a small inconspicuous area of the substrate to ensure desired performance results, aesthetics and coverage rates. Allow the test area to fully dry and cure (28 days) before evaluating and determining suitability.
    2. Before attempting to apply Strong Shield 247 make sure the slab is structurally sound (free of flaking, spalling, and hibernating spalling) and that the surface is clean and bondable. Slick or glossy surfaces should be opened and/or sanded before applying Strong Shield 247, cracks and spalling should be repaired, patched, and smoothed before applying Strong Shield 247. Unrepaired cracks will remain visible in the finished surface. Strong Shield 247 should only be applied to fully cured and dried surfaces. Strong Shield 247 is resilient and will adhere to metal.
    3. Always test for compatibility and adhesion.
    4. Thoroughly remove all debris and dust from the surface. Painted surfaces may require sanding or de-glossing.
    5. Wash the surface. Be sure to remove all grease, oil, paint, and other contaminants.
    6. Allow the surface to dry completely.
    7. Check the surface for damp spots or standing water before proceeding.

    Mixing

    • Mix in a 5-gallon bucket with a 1/2 inch drill and paddle mixer.
    • Use approximately 4 to 4.5 quarts of water per 50 pounds of dry overlay mixture.
    • Add the water to the dry mixture and mix until it is lump-free and pourable. Allow mixture to sit for 1-2 minutes to release air.
    • Temperature will affect the consistency of the unset mixture

    Pot Life: Mixture will remain spreadable for approximately 30-60 minutes. If mixture dries out, do not add additional water.

    Application

    Hand/Squeegee application – Slowly pour the Strong Shield 247 mixture on the surface and evenly distribute the coating into a thin layer using a squeegee. Immediately broom or finish to desired texture.

    Spray/Hopper gun: Immediately after mixing, pour Strong Shield 247 mixture into a hopper gun outfitted with large orifice. Cover 75% to 100% of the surface using a circular spray pattern. When spraying material, hold gun nozzle between 24”-32” (610-813mm) above the surface. Can be applied using a Graco TexSprayer system- requires compressed air and pre-mixed (water added).

    Coverage:
