APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE APPLICATION STEPS

Surface Preparation: Prior to application, all surfaces shall be clean and dry with no oils, dirt, debris, rust, metal oxides, or minerals such as efflorescence, lime and calcium. These stains, along with others, will prevent proper penetration of Plugger Universal to sufficiently seal for the warranty period.

The use of Restore-N-Prep™ Concrete and Masonry Cleaner system is recommended as a pretreatment to clean masonry surfaces. Once clean, allow the surface to fully dry before sealing or applying a top[1]coat (See the Restore-N-Prep™ TDS for details).

Application Instructions: Plugger Universal is supplied Ready-to-Use. DO NOT THIN. Mix thoroughly prior to use. Avoid application in windy weather. In hot weather, lightly dampen surfaces with clean fresh water to avoid premature or flash drying.

Brush, roll or spray. Ambient and surface temperatures must be above 55°F and relative humidity below 80%. Clean tools and equipment with soap and water. Reach out to your Exterior Performance Coatings Representative with any application questions or instructions
