DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SURFACE PREPARATION:
IMPORTANT NOTES: Do not use No-Rinse Concrete Etch on limestone as the product will dissolve the limestone. Always test in an inconspicuous area to ensure desired results. Protect foliage and all applicable surrounding areas including wood, aluminum, glass, asphalt, vinyl siding, and painted surfaces. No-Rinse Concrete Etch is an adhesion promoter, not a cleaner. For cleaning surfaces, use MasonrySaver Safer Brick & Masonry Cleaner.
