diluting Ghostshield 4500

[misterfixit]

Just making sure here before I start.....

Using GS 4500 densifier on new (3 month old) shop floor, was power troweled very smooth, 1200 sqft. Still need to dilute 4 to 1, making total of 5 gallons?

If you are going to be applying GhostShield 8505 or 8510, then the 4 to 1 dilution for a power troweled floor is correct. Makes sure that it does not puddle.

What if the 4500 is all im using?

It would be 3 to 1 then. Again, just make sure it dust not puddle. You don't anything more than a wet sheen when applying it.

Do you use a microfiber mop/pad to spread it out or just spray it on the floor?

Haven't applied yet, still waiting for the spray foam guy to finish so I can clear the floor. The plan is to spray on and use mop to spread/even it out.

This is 100% correct. DO NOT OVER APPLY

Only what soaks in right away. Do not allow it to puddle

We normally recommend 4:1 to make 5 gals.

When is it appropriate to use 2 to 1? That is what the sheet from Ghostshield called for. Is there a benefit or downside to using to rich a mix?

If you are using it with 8505 or 8510 just DON'T.

If you are using it over power troweled concrete Don't

If you are using it over porous concrete as a stand alone densifier, ok but be careful
