Stone Essentials Stone Shield Sealant
Liquid satin finish sealer for interior use. For use on unpolished natural stone, terracotta and cement tiles.
Suitable for all types of unpolished natural and artificial stone, matt porcelain, matt ceramic, terracotta, masonry, concrete and encaustic. Enhances colour and texture, protects against staining and stubborn dirt. Easy to maintain. Suitable for domestic and commercial use.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Ensure that the surface is completely clean and dry. Retained moisture may cause the Stone Shield to dry opaque or prevent the seal from reaching full hardness.
Rough cut, textured or riven surfaces: Use a paint brush. Apply a thin coat evenly in one direction. Do not rub or buff. Allow to dry (1 hour minimum) Apply further coats at right angles to previous until an even film is created (max 6 coats).
Honed and smooth surfaces: Apply using a micro-fibre cloth or pad. Pour contents into a flat tray container. Soak up the solution with the cloth or pad and apply thinly and evenly to the surface. Apply further coats at right angles to previous until an even film is created (max 6 coats).
Do not over apply as too many coats may cause unsightly build up and/or reduce the efficiency of the product. Begins to harden after an hour, but will take a further 3 days to become fully water resistant. If in doubt experiment on spare tiles to establish the correct method of application and optimum number of coats before general use.

AFTER CARE
Routinely sweep the floor. Use Clean & Sheen to clean and protect treated surfaces. In areas where the seal becomes worn, apply more Stone Shield. At some stage, complete renovation of the seal may be desired. In this case use Deep Clean to strip the original seal before re-sealing.
