Do not use on resined quartzite. Always test on a small area first and allow a 24 hour cure time, as the cream can slightly darken some substrates. Surfaces must be dry, clean and free of residues and the surface temperature between 5-35C. One coat application only. Remove all excess cream after a dwell of 45 minutes to 1 hour; failing to remove excess after 1 hour will make the surface slippery and removal becomes very challenging. Do not leave on longer than 1.5 hours even on polished surfaces. The sealer will NOT prevent surface etching, scuffing or wear and may lighten or darken some surfaces. Avoid moisture contact for a minimum of 12 hours. Highly porous surfaces such as sandstone and soft limestone should be pre-sealed and a test is critical. WARNING: causes serious eye irritation, causes skin irritation, may cause respiratory irritation, suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child, harmful to aquatic life. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye or face protection, avoid breathing mist, vapours or spray, and use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
