5. Inspect slab for birdbaths one eighth (1/8) inch deep or greater and fill as per manufacturer's written specifications.

3.03 APPLICATION

A. Application may not start until owner/architect has accepted entire surface as to texture, ponding of water, and drainage.

B. Etch entire surface with 1:4 solution of muriatic acid and water and flush to neutralize immediately.

C. After flushing has dried thoroughly, for at least twenty four (24) hours under good drying conditions, spray apply one (1) coat of primer over entire area at a rate of .03-.04 gallons per square yard.

D. Allow adequate time between applications for prior coat to dry thoroughly before applying next coat. Primer requires a minimum of two (2) hours of good drying. Color coats can normally be re-coated after four (4) hours of good drying with sun. Upon completion of final coat keep all foot traffic off sealed surface. Allow the final coat to cure at least twenty four (24) hours, under good drying conditions, (at least seventy (70) degrees F.) before allowing foot traffic on surface. Less favorable conditions will require longer drying times.
