When spraying , it is recommended to back roll pools or puddles to ensure even coating of the surface. If more than 3 coats are desired, wait at least 24 hours between subsequent coats. Superdeck Wet Look should be applied at temperatures above 50F and below 85 F. Avoid applying Wet Look if the temperature is above 85 F or breezy conditions are present. When concrete absorbs water, the properties of the concrete change and in extreme cases are destroyed. Typical examples are damage caused by frost, ice and efflorescence which are attributed to water absorption .
Masonry absorbs water through pores and capillaries.
Evaporation of the water causes the salts to be deposited inside the pores and capillaries, the salt concentration gradually increases causing damage. Damage, often severe, is caused by the crystallization and the forming of hydrate crystals. These physical and chemical processes cause expansion within the concrete. When the pressure is great enough crack may form in the concrete. Acid waste gasses from fossilized fuels attach and destroy the binders of concrete and masonry.
