Made of acrylic, Wet Look WL87 Protector is specially designed to protect natural stone, concrete pavers, clay pavers, wet-cast pavers, and stop the movement of aggregates* or sand (conventional paver joints) while imparting a wet look semigloss fi nish to surfaces. Its special formulation allows the fi lm to resist unexpected rain 80 minutes following application, and it protects the sealer’s fi lm from mold, moss & algae growth. Its optimized open time allows for excellent workability for an installation free of overlapping marks.

WL87 Joint Stabilizing
Sealer is an easy-to-use, low-solid product that offers better penetration and binding. Its excellent fi lm breathability allows for a rapid installation over various dry surfaces as it will be forgiving to effl orescence and naturally occurring moisture. It is a high-quality sealer that prevents deterioration caused by chemical products such as de-icing salts while providing resistance to acids and alkalis. Its transparent fi lm stops the penetration of contaminants, facilitating the maintenance of pavers and a multitude of surfaces.

Before you begin
Do not apply to polished material.
Apply only to bare material* or to material previously sealed with this Protector.
Wait until the Protector is worn before recoating the surface (2 years minimum). 
With the appropriate stripper, remove any unknown coating that was previously applied.
 Always test on a small hidden area of approximately 0,4 m2 (4 ft2 ) to ensure that result meets your expectations (see Warranty).

*ABSORPTION TEST: Sprinkle a few drops of water on surface. If water is absorbed, move on to the next point. If water is repelled, do not apply this product.

Surface preparation (Essential)
1. Protect vegetation, vehicles and adjacent surfaces that are not to be treated.
2. Remove stains with the appropriate Techniseal® stain removers.
3. Eliminate any mold, mildew, moss, fungus or algae before proceeding with sealing
4. Prepare the entire surface with Techniseal® Paver Prep (efflorescence cleaner), as directed on product label.

Application
Application conditions
• Surface must be clean, dry and warm to the touch. Before surface can be sealed, it should dry for a minimum of 24 hours after cleaning and/or precipitation. Do NOT seal over wet or damp substrates.
• Temperature must be between 4 °C and 35 °C (40 °F and 95 °F) during the application and for the next 24 hours.
• No rain should be forecasted for the next 24 hours. WL-87 will withstand unexpected rain 80 minutes after application.
• Sprinkler system must be turned off.
• Use a consistent application method over the entire surface.

Necessary tools
• Low-pressure solvent-resistant airless sprayer (<50 psi) or solvent-resistant pump sprayer (best practice)
• Techniseal® Slit-Foam Roller and solvent-resistant paint tray

Do not dilute. Shake well or stir product before and during application. If project requires more than one container, blend all containers together to ensure uniformity. Work in sections of no more than 4,6 m2 (50 ft2 ).

Sprayer Application (best practice)
Saturate
a section with a single coat of Protector. With the roller, remove the excess on the surface before it dries. Repeat for subsequent sections, maintaining a wet edge in order to avoid overlapping marks.

Roller Application
Saturate
the surface with a single coat of Protector, avoiding an accumulation of excess product. Maintain a wet edge in order to avoid overlapping marks.

Second coat (if desired)
Once the surface is dry to the touch, apply a second coat following the same method but apply less product. Do not apply a second coat to pavers that are not very porous as this could result in a slippery surface.

Drying / Curing
Sealer film will be dry to the touch within 15 minutes under normal conditions. To ensure optimal performance and long-term resistance, the sealer must dry completely to ensure proper film formation. Drying time will be shorter if it is warm and dry, and longer if the climate is cool and damp.

Traffic : Pedestrian & Vehicular: 24 h. Block access during that period.

Caution
• Any new concrete product has the potential to produce efflorescence (whitish salts) on its surface. This Protector, like any film-forming coating, carries a small risk of trapping efflorescence beneath its film. Consult the paver manufacturer or contact Techniseal® at 1 800 465-7325 for more information.
• Do not attempt sprayer application on windy days.
• Do not apply this product over a blotchy or hazed surface.
• Inadequate surface cleaning can result in uneven finish.
• An overaccumulation of product could lead to surface being slippery or reduced film breathability. If slipping is a concern, consider Techniseal® Colour Boost (CB+) Protector or adding Surefoot anti-slip grit from Techniseal® in the Protector before the application. Colour Boost (CB+) is not a joint stabilizer.
• Extreme climate or heavy traffic could limit product longevity.

Cleaning & disposal
Wash tools with lacquer thinner. Consult your retailer or municipality regarding the disposal of empty containers or unused product.
