Temperature range for sealer application

[bmxdad]

I wondering what the floor or air temp needs to be before adding a sealer. Winter is coming, so do I wait till spring, or a good day and try heating the garage up?

My plan is to wash and etch with Muriatic acid in a 1-5 solution, rinse, dry and roll on the as many coats of sealer as I can get out of 5 gal. Dry time is a couple hours between coats ... so a two day process.

IF ... I have the proper temperature range.

What kind of sealer? Have you read the Technical Data Sheets available for it?

bump for a response??

as per the tech data sheet on the link you posted.

Do not apply at temperatures below 40°F (4°C) or when the
average daily temperature remains below 40°F (4°C).

I would assume if your space is climate controlled this wouldn't matter but if the temperature in the shop falls into this category you shouldn't apply it. i am about to be in the same boat trying to seal my concrete in Dec/Jan

Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat forever. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day?

Yes, I read it ... but looking for real life examples. I've talked to a few people and the say don't do anything below 55 deg.

Heater is on and holding about 57, but its real cold .. .32? and very windy. I also only have an insulated ceiling so far. Going to hit the 20's tonight

Might be waiting till spring ...
