May I use QuickDye™ when polishing concrete?
Does QuickDye™ require cleaning prior to the sealer application?
Cleaning is essential to ensure proper adhesion of sealers. We recommend the use of an auto-scrubber or white pad on a buffer to remove excess dye residue.
What is the benefit of the penetrating agent when using QuickDye™?
The penetrating agent allows for better penetration and adhesion of the dye, increasing color performance and mottling.
When should I use the penetrating agent with QuickDye™?
The penetrating agent should be added in most instances, especially very tight, power-troweled or polished surfaces.
What coverage should I expect while using QuickDye?
QuickDye™ will yield 200-400 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on various factors including concrete porosity and finish.
