    • Extremely Dense/Hard Troweled Floors: Approximately 300 sq-ft per diluted gallon.
  • Application Method: Apply with low-pressure spray, squeegee, or push broom. Ensure even coverage to avoid puddling which can lead to white residues.
  • Drying Time: Typically 4 to 8 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Tools should be cleaned immediately with warm water to prevent residue build-up.
