Surface Preparation:

1. Surface must be honed to at least a 200 grit texture.
2. Surface should be uniformly honed with no shiny areas 
3. Wipe off surface and all sanding residue with 50:50 mix of acetone and water using clean rag ensuring there is no residue on the rag after wiping. EAP failures over the past year are few. Moisture is the number one cause and will cause the EAP to cure improperly and fracture. Ceramic modified MgO cement blends also require a special primer to overcome adhesion issues. Below are easy ways to overcome these potential risks: 
1. If using air sprayers always use an in-line filtration system to keep water, dirt and oil out of your shop air lines. 
2. Make sure to clean your spray gun before and after every use by spraying acetone through the system. 
3. Watch temperature and air moisture depending on your region. 
4. Let your concrete dry out at least 5-7 days and at least 24 hours after wet grinding. The use of space heaters near your project if the weather is cold may assist curing but be careful of slab curl and note that no open flame heaters such as propane/ kerosene/ fuel oil/ natural gas powered Salamander type heaters of any kind are allowed, They load the air with contaminates that may cause sealer failure.
