Aqua Mix Floor Shine and Hardener for Slate

[Frontier_Steel]

Hello everyone,
Here's a couple pics of the finished product...However I learned a hard lesson-nothing is to be applied after enrich n seal. It took me 6 hours to scrub off three coats of floor shine and hardener( it didn't take and looked horrible)So for anyone using enrich n seal DO NOT apply any type of finish before or after...hopefully this saves someone some headache.

Did you let the enrich and seal dry fully before applying the shine,,?..

Here are the instructions and what i have believed to be fine..

APPLICATION:
1) Read entire label before using.
2) If an Aqua Mix sealer is used, allow sealer to cure a minimum of 24 hours unless otherwise indicated on sealer label.
3) Unglazed surfaces must be sealed prior to using Aqua Mix Floor Shine & Hardener.
4) Surface must be clean, dry, and sealed.
5) Apply by pouring a small amount of product directly onto sealed floor and spreading evenly with a sponge mop or paint pad applicator – avoid overlapping and puddling.
6) 2 to 3 coats are recommended for a high shine.
7) If 2 or more coats are applied, allow a minimum of 1 hour drying time between coats.
8) Ready for surface traffic 3 hours after final coat. Keep area dry for 12 hours. Achieves a full cure in 24 hours.
9) Clean applicator tools with water after each use.
10) May be reapplied as needed to surface that is clean and dry.

The areas in bold are what i take as using a sealer before hand..

Hello Dave

The enrich n seal was allowed to dry for approx. two weeks (I'm doing ten jobs at once) When reading the label for the floor shine and hardener it appears that it would be fine to use but the enrich n seal label says differently...

LIMITATIONS
​

​

• Do not allow sealer to come in contact with any
non-recommended surface as product is not
completely removable
• Sealers and finishes should not be used before or
after use of Enrich ‘N’ Seal™
• If Enrich ‘N’ Seal™ is not wiped completely dry
within 5 minutes, a grey residue may form. If residue
occurs, use a scrub brush or floor machine with​

Aqua Mix NanoScrub

® to remove sealer residue.

Always try a small test area to ensure results. If results
are not satisfactory, contact Technical Services for
additional options
​

• Keep floor surfaces dry and clean to reduce
possibility of slip-fall accidents. Routine
pressure-washing will affect expected wear
• Sealers will not prevent surface wear or etching​

from acids or caustic chemicals


I got an entire basement to do so I'm glad all this got sorted in the front foyer...I'm impressed with this stuff, the pics really don't do it justice, in person its something else.
I would use this product again.

Looks like it will be ok for the other aqua mix sealer's then , just not enrich and seal.. we learn something every day on Tilers forums..
