Part I: General

1.01 DESCRIPTION:

• STONE SPRAY-N-SEAL XP is a penetrating sealer that protects the interior of extra porous stones such as find-grained granites, limestone, slate and Sandstone. It even protects concrete and grout from staining. This below surface sealer is recommended for sealing interior and exterior applications. It bonds to the stone and repels water and oil-based contaminants from absorbing in, yet it allows the stone to breathe.

1.02 SUMMARY:

• The most important part of stone is the interior. STONE SPRAY-N-SEAL XP must be applied to protect the interior of the stone. Its unique formula allows it to penetrate through the surface and into the stone for maximum protection. Many stone surfaces are very porous and act like a sponge in the presence of moisture and fluids. Without it, acidic and alkali liquids, oil and dirt can infiltrate into the stone thus causing corrosion, staining, and discoloring. STONE SPRAY-N-SEAL XP is safe on food handling surfaces.

PART IV- Product Procedures:

4.01 PREPARING THE SURFACE:

1. All surfaces must be clean and free from debris and remain dry for 6-12 hours before the application of STONE SPRAY N SEAL XP and remain dry for 24-48 hours after the application. 48 Hours provides the best protection.
2. Floor surface temperature must be above 50 degrees F and below 90 degrees F.

4.02 SMOOTH POLISHED or SMOOTH HONED SURFACES: -COUNTERTOPS, FLOORS, VANITIES, & WALLS

*Always test first in a small area for desired results before applying to entire surface. Remove any topical waxes or stains before sealing.

1. Surface should be dry for 6-12 hours before sealing.
2. Clean countertop surface using Marbamist or Clean EnCounters. For stone floors, clean with Marbalex. (It is safe to lightly clean the stone before sealing.)
3. Cover surrounding areas that are not intended to be sealed.
4. Liberally spray the entire surface until it is wet. (Outer edges may dry quicker.)
5. When surface begins to dry within 3-5 minutes, wet the surface again with the sealer. (This will allow the sealer to properly penetrate and cure.)
6. After 30 minutes, wipes off excess sealer from the surface with a clean and dry white terry cloth towel.
7. If excess dries on the surface, spray more sealer onto the surface and wipe off immediately with a clean dry terry cloth towel. For large stone floors, excess can be buffed off with a clean white buffing pad or an all cloth bonnet pad.

Floor surfaces may be walked on 4 hours after application. For best curing results, keep surface dry for 24- 48 hours after application. 48 hours will provide best protection.

4.03 GROUT SEALING:

1. Grout must be dry for 72 Hours
2. Spray Sealer on to grout completely wetting the grout.
3. Wipe off excess sealer with a white terry cloth towel, 3 minutes after application

4.04 GROUT RELEASE:

1. Install the stone with the proper setting materials and follow procedures A-G.
2. Apply grout to the joints.
3. Wipe off remaining residue with MARBALEX or MARBAMIST .
4. Seal sanded grout 72 hours after curing.

4.05 CARE & MAINTENANCE:

1. General cleaning of floor surfaces use MARBALEX, and MARBAMIST or CLEAN EnCOUNTERS for cleaning countertops, vanities and walls.
