Application Instructions

• Preparation: Clean the paving thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush to remove dirt and debris. Apply Thompson’s Advanced Patio & Block Paving Cleaner to eliminate algae, mould, or stains, rinsing well and allowing the surface to dry completely (24-48 hours). For oil stains, use Thompson’s Oil & Drive Cleaner, rinse, and dry.
• Conditions: Apply on a dry day with temperatures above 10C, avoiding rain or frost for at least 24 hours post-application to ensure proper curing.
• Application: Shake the tin well to mix the sealant. Pour into a roller tray and apply evenly with a long-pile roller or brush, working in smooth, overlapping strokes. Spread any puddles to cover dry spots. Apply two coats (three for porous surfaces), allowing 4 hours drying time between coats. Wet Look enhances color instantly; Natural maintains a subtle finish.
• Post-Application: Clean tools with white spirit immediately after use. Allow 24 hours before walking or driving on the surface to ensure a fully cured, durable seal.

Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning: Maintain sealed surfaces with periodic cleaning using Thompson’s Advanced Patio & Block Paving Cleaner to remove dirt or organic growth. Avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the finish.
• Drying: Ensure surfaces dry fully after cleaning to preserve the sealants protective properties.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area between 5C and 25C, away from heat sources, with the lid tightly secured to maintain product quality.
• Avoidances: Do not apply in damp or cold conditions (below 10C), as this may compromise drying and effectiveness. Avoid contact with plastic or rubber surfaces while wet to prevent damage.
