Compatability

NOTE: Some block paving may discolour or darken and a clear seal such as Thompson's One Coat Patio & Block Paving Seal will highlight this effect. Block paving with a high lime content and newly laid blocks may produce unsightly white surfaces deposits which may reduce with weathering. Test on a small inconspicuous area prior to general application. Avoid contact with plastic and rubber materials (including footwear) whilst wet.

Preparation

For maximum performance on new block paving and paving slabs, ensure blocks or paving slabs and jointing sand are dry. In order to avoid dislodging the sand, the sand should be well compacted and slightly below the level of the block or paving slab. For existing block paving and paving slabs ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oil, dust or loose material that may interfere with the penetration of the sealer to be applied. Dirt, moss, lichen and other loose material can be removed using Thompson's Patio & Paving Cleaner. Grease and oil stains can be removed using Thompson's Oil & Drive Cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water to ensure all cleaning residues are washed away. Brush area to be coated to remove all surface debris. Allow to dry thoroughly.
* Pressure washers should not be used on man-made products or this will lift the surface. *

Application

Thompson's High Performance Patio & Block Paving Seal can be applied using a long pile roller and a roller tray or a brush. Surfaces should be dry before application. Apply an even coat to ensure all surface irregularities are covered. Attention should be paid to textured block paving slabs to ensure the surface is evenly coated and that the coating does not 'pond' in surface depressions. Brush well into the surface redistributing any surplus product. Treated surfaces should not be walked on until at least 4 hours after the final coat has dried. Avoid heavy foot traffic and the parking of any vehicles on surfaces treated with Thompson's High Performance Block Paving Seal for at least a further 24 hours. Thompson's High Performance Block Paving Seal will achieve its full hardness within a few days of application.

Clean Up

Clean brushes, rollers and other equipment immediately after use with white spirit or brush cleaner. Remove as much product as possible from application equipment before cleaning.
