Update: just used this on a job last Friday. It went on great, no respirator, and no headache. A really nice benefit, I was able to recoat in less than 30 minutes, and it was cured for light use in two hours. I just finished some heat tests on a sample piece. Using a digital heat gun, placed 1" from the surface, and set at 500 degrees, no reaction at the 2 minute time. I increased the temp to 700 degrees, and after a minute and a half, got a 1/2 inch diameter blister. It didn't bubble, just…

A really nice benefit, I was able to recoat in less than 30 minutes, and it was cured for light use in two hours. I just finished some heat tests on a sample piece. Using a digital heat gun, placed 1" from the surface, and set at 500 degrees, no reaction at the 2 minute time. I increased the temp to 700 degrees, and after a minute and a half, got a 1/2 inch diameter blister. It didn't bubble, just kind of delaminated, and stayed tight to the texture. It's not noticeable, but is not bonded. Since I'd consider that the point of failure, I stopped there. Just thought I'd pass this along to all of you. Best wishes in all you're doing!

I have applied this particular formula over Opus (Specco), Smith, Concrete Resurrection (Engrave-a-Crete) Valspar metallic effects, and Pearlex. They say that you can apply this over solvent base, and also re-coat with solvent, but I have not tried. I cannot comment on how it performs under water. DuPont tech may have some info on that. Sorry, but let me know if you find anything out, I'll do the same.

So you are putting this on Latex Paint?<br />

The problem with sealers is when you use in underwater situations. They White out.

I almost forgot, and this is important. When I first used the product, it crazed (crackled) very badly. DuPont techs thought it was a reaction with something incompatible. After testing every way I could think of, I read all the directions and tech info again and noticed it could be thinned up to 10% with distilled water for brush or roller application. This solved the problem. One more thing, when you open a can, it looks defective, opaque and gel-like. As you brush or roll, it liquifies and…
I almost forgot, and this is important. When I first used the product, it crazed (crackled) very badly. DuPont techs thought it was a reaction with something incompatible. After testing every way I could think of, I read all the directions and tech info again and noticed it could be thinned up to 10% with distilled water for brush or roller application. This solved the problem. One more thing, when you open a can, it looks defective, opaque and gel-like. As you brush or roll, it liquifies and settles beautifully, no brush marks. Weird, huh?
