- This product is NOT strippable.
- Do NOT blend different batches of material together.
- Application vessel and mop heads should be washed between batches of newly mixed material.
- Apply no more than 3 coats in a 24 hour period.
- Allow 6 hours of cure time before allowing traffic on the floor.
- Coverage – 1500-2500 sq. ft. per gallon.
MIXING – Equipment and Materials:
- T-Rx Part A and Part B
- Clean mixing pail
- Fresh water source
- Electric drill
- Drill paddle (3”-4”)
MIXING – Directions:
*NOTE: When following the mixing instructions use:
3500 grams Part A bottle with 203 grams Part B metal canister (included)
- Read all directions and cautions carefully prior to mixing product.
- Equip drill with drill paddle.
- Pour all of Part A into a clean mixing pail.
- Begin agitating part A with drill equipped with drill paddle before adding Part B. Hold paddle at a 45 degree angle with the paddle close to the far edge of the pail when agitating.
- *(See Note above) Next, slowly pour all of Part B liquid into Part A in a stream no wider than the diameter of a pencil. Make note of the time: This should take at least 90 seconds. Ensure Part B container is completely empty.
