Disposal
- Contact your local government household hazardous waste coordinator for information on disposal of unused product
NOTE: stronger dilution rates may be required for adequate profile. Power- troweled concrete may require EZ-Prep Pro to be used straight. In some cases, proper surface preparation will require mechanical surface preparation (e.g. grinding, shot blasting), such as for ColorTec™ Coatings, DK Flake, and DK Metallic systems.
