Application

SpecStrip Citrus is ready to use and should not be diluted. For optimal performance:

  • Ensure form surfaces are free from dirt, rust, scale, and concrete buildup before application.
  • Apply using a spray with an atomizing or misting spray tip to achieve a thin, uniform film.
  • Avoid over-application to prevent dusting; remove excess material with a squeegee and absorbent rags.
  • Proper application will result in a smooth, architectural concrete surface ready for subsequent coatings.

SpecStrip Citrus is packaged in 275 gallon totes, 55 gallon drums and 5 gallon pails.
