Application Instructions

Surface preparation. The surface to be treated must be free of dirt, dust, grease, and efflorescence and completely dry. Cracks and mortar defects must first be repaired with MAXREST and pointing between bricks or blocks with MAXJOINT.
Application.
Use a fine hair brush or low pressure spray (0.4 Kg/cm²). Soak the surface to be treated thoroughly with MAXCLEAR applying it progressively in strips, avoiding covering large spread out areas. We recommend two coats with ten hours between each application.
