Directions for Applying Micro-Seal 
on Concrete Swimming Pools, Lily and Fish Ponds. 
NEW POOLS 
1. Smooth — troweled walls and floor of pools should be given a brush coat of 
muriatic acid (1 part muriatic acid 2 parts of water) to permit Micro-Seal to 
penetrate into the pores of the concrete. 
2. Wash down the surface treated with acid and apply 2 coats of Micro-Seal. 
3. Application — Thoroughly wet the surface immediately before applying 
Micro-Seal. 
(a) Apply the first coat with a stiff short fibre scrubbing brush thoroughly 
scrubbing in Micro-Seal into every pore of the surface. Twelve (12) hours after 
application of the first coat, moisten the treated surface with a fine water 
spray and continue the water spray every 12 hours for at least 48 hours. 
(b) Apply the second coat the same way as the first, but this time use a large 
kalsomine brush as brushing insures better coverage over the first. 
4. After applying the second coat do not fill the pool for three or four days so 
Micro-Seal may ‘’set” and cure properly. 
OLD POOLS 
1. All previously coats of oil must be completely removed with a suitable sol- 
vent, such as paint removers or abrasive materials. Practical experience has 
shown that a solution of 4 lbs. of trisodium phosphate to one (1) gallon of 
warm water will generally remove these coatings. However make sure that 
the solvents are removed with clean water before using Micro-Seal. 
CAUTION 
Fish ponds must be thoroughly rinsed with water after painting to remove any 
traces of alkali in the film as this would be in jurious to the fish. 
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIXING MICRO-SEAL 
Micro-Seal is prepared for use simply by mixing the powder with cold water. 
To prepare one (1) gallon, mix fresh cold water to the contents of one (1) 8% lb. 
bag of Micro-Seal adding a little water at a time stirring constantly until all lumps 
have completely disappeared and the mixture made creamy. The amount of 
water required to make this consistency is approximately three (3) quarts to 8% 
lb. bag of Micro-Seal. Keep mixture uniform by stirring frequently, since Micro- 
Seal lasts from two (2) to two and one-half (2¥2) hours, therefore mix only the re- 
quired quantity for use within this time.
