How To Apply

Application is simple, and doesn’t require a lot of equipment. The short version is this: Using a garden sprayer or spray rig, spray CreteDefender on clean concrete in a saturating application, and make sure it stays wet for 20-30 minutes to allow the solution to penetrate and react. Use a stiff broom or squeegee to move any puddles of CreteDefender to areas that are drying.  You may need to apply additional CreteDefender to areas that are drying faster than 20 minutes.  It is critical to keep the entire treated area saturated for at least 20 minutes.

After 20-30 minutes, simply push any excess CreteDefender off into the grass or guide it toward the storm sewer. CreteDefender is totally harmless to plants and the environment!  It will etch glass and stain aluminum, so a bit of caution is needed around thresholds and glass.

After the concrete has been dry for at least 2 hours, repeat the application process. (for interior, machine troweled concrete, you do not need a 2nd application.)
