How to prepare the surface for life deck texture finish coating:

Important tip: Concrete, concrete decks, floors and walk ways New concrete must age for a minimum of 30 days. Cool temperatures and high humidity may require a longer cure time.

Remove all grease, oil and wax with T. S. P. Solution. (One pound of T. S. P. to 1 gallon of water.) Scrub with stiff broom until surface is thoroughly clean.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Then etch all unpainted cement with 1 part 10% muriatic acid to 1 part water. Allow to stand 10-15 minutes then rinse clean with water.
A properly etched concrete surface should resemble the texture grit of medium sand paper. Let dry thoroughly before applying coating.

Do not use life deck texture finish over mildew:

Mildew is a fungus, brown, black, grey or even white in color, and will rapidly grow through any coating applied over it. A solution of 50% household bleach and 50% water will kill the mildew. Rinse thoroughly. See precautions on bleach label for handling before using.

Up to 300 square feet per gallon on a smooth surface and between 200-300 square feet per gallon on a rough surface. Product may be thinned slightly with a small amount of water, in which case 2 coats are recommended.

How to apply life deck texture non-slip finish:

Box and mix all containers to insure consistent color. Neatly cut-in all edges with a brush and roll the main area using a 1/2″ to 3/4″ nap, good quality roller cover. Be sure to spread evenly in a “V” pattern, rolling in both directions. It is best not to apply in the hot sun or above 80 degrees. Thinning slightly with water and applying thin coats will help avoid streaks in direct sun.
