Applying concrete densifier

[bugnout]

Getting ready to apply LegacyInd H39 densifier to my garage floor and apron. Like to spray it on. Is a garden sprayer appropriate?

Also any reason I should keep the densifier off the concrete block stem wall? Do I need to mask of the stem wall or not worry about a little overspray?

Garden sprayer is fine. No worries about stem wall.

I hope I'm not too late but you may want to use a respirator if you are spraying this stuff. I did my garage last summer and I had a sore throat for 3 days after. I did not see any warning on the can about spraying. Also, you will find out that spraying uses more material, I had to re-order 2 more cans to finish the job. Overall I'm not very happy with it. I'm still having dust problems and I have a brake fluid stain that I can't get rid of even though I cleaned it soon after it happened. Even my pressure washer can't remove it. Pretty much a waste of time and money.

Fix, the fact that you are still experiencing dust coupled with the coverage issue tells me you might have a very porous sandy cap. Densifier wont fix a weak slab.


Frankly, you may have been a better candidate for a topical sealer after a good diamond grinding to take care of that weak porous layer.

If you are willing to put the work in we will definitely discour some sealer for you to help out.

My next step is interlocking tile, no more miracle in a can products for me.

Its hard to make miracles when the customers mason takes short-cuts.

I would take exception and request a credit from that rascal.

He's not a rascal, he's a HACK!
And if I would see him again I would probably choke him.
But seriously, a warning label should be put on the can about spraying the H39
