APPLICATION:
Surface Preparation: The concrete should be clean, dry, smooth, and free of all voids. Repair spalled areas, fill all voids and remove sharp protrusions. For additional surface preparation requirements, see instructions for applying MEL-DEK, MEL-ROL, and/or AIR-SHIELD.

Mixing: This product requires thorough mixing prior to application.

Application Method: Apply in fair weather when the surface and air temperatures are 40º F (4º C) and rising. Apply with a sprayer, roller, or brush. Condition only the area to be covered with the product membrane during the working day. Areas not covered with a membrane in 24 hours must be reconditioned. NOTE: Metal surfaces do not require conditioning; however, they must be clean, dry, and free of loose paint, rust, or other contaminants.

Drying Time: Dries in approximately one hour, depending on temperature and application rate. The surface must be tacky to the touch before covering. If the work area is very dusty, apply the membrane as soon as possible after MEL-PRIME Water-Based is dry.

Cleanup: Application equipment can be cleaned with soap and water before the product dries. Once dry, the equipment can be cleaned with mineral spirits.

PRECAUTIONS:
Do not apply when rain is imminent, on frozen or frost-covered surfaces, or when surface and air temperatures are below 40º F (4º C). Avoid allowing to puddle – this will lengthen drying time. Do not dilute, use as is. KEEP FROM FREEZING.  Refer to Safety Data Sheet for complete health and safety information.
