Cost is $129.99 per 24 oz making it only $0.76 per sq ft. Depending on how porous your concrete surface is, you may need the maximum number of coats before your surface is completely sealed. For less porous concrete or less demanding applications such as fireplace surrounds, you may need only 1 primer coat and 2 finish coats. For highly porous surfaces, additional applications up to 2 primer coats and 4 finish coats might be necessary to ensure full coverage and durability. Always assess the porosity of your concrete before beginning the sealing process to determine the exact number of coats needed. By following these guidelines, you can achieve professional-grade results and extend the lifespan of your concrete surfaces. EQUIPMENT Omega is applied with foam rollers. It is important to use high quality foam rollers, because this will result in a better surface finish quality. Our foam rollers are made of a dense, high quality foam that will give you a better finish than foam rollers from a big box home improvement store. They may look similar to big box rollers, but they are not. The foam is top quality German foam (assembled in China). If you purchase the Omega Full Kit, you will receive our ultra high quality German foam rollers as well as handles and measuring syringes. You may also purchase packs of foam rollers and handles here. The Omega Full Kit includes all the accessories you need for convenience, including foam rollers and handles, measuring syringes, and even plastic jars. People often buy a full kit to start, and then order 24 oz kits as needed.

The Reseal Kit contains everything shown in the photo: 1 kit of Omega 1 4″ foam roller and handle 2 10 mL syringes 200 grit diamond hand pad 100 grit 5″ diamond polishing disc Important points to understand are: Thorough cleaning is essential before and after removing the old sealer. Thorough masking is critical. Omega is designed to bond very well to many surfaces, so wipe up spills, drips, and spatter immediately, or protect important surfaces with effective masking. Not all sealers are removed using the same methods. Wax and penetrating sealers are very difficult to remove because they sit below the concrete’s surface, and chemical stripping may be necessary. Softer topical sealers like acrylic sealers are easy to remove with damp honing. Experimentation is sometimes necessary, but the goal is to remove 100% of the old sealer and expose new, completely bare concrete. New or existing voids and pinholes in the concrete should be filled before sealing. Omega will not fill in pinholes, and they may remain open and unsealed. Only grout after the old sealer has been removed but before Omega is applied. A few simple tools/materials such as a random orbit sander and a spray bottle are needed for the resealing process.

Recommended Environmental Conditions for Applying Omega Concrete Sealer To achieve the best results while applying a concrete sealer, it’s essential to be mindful of specific environmental conditions. Here’s what you need to consider: Air Movement: Apply the sealer in a location with minimal air movement. Drafts and breezy conditions can lead to uneven application, as the sealer may dry too quickly, resulting in undesirable streaks. Temperature: Avoid applying the sealer under direct sunlight or any form of radiant heat. Higher temperatures can cause the sealer to dry prematurely, making it difficult to achieve a smooth finish. By managing these environmental factors, you can ensure a more even and professional finish for your concrete sealing project. Detailed information about the exact temperature and humidity, as well as considerations of dew point, air flow and dust control, are in the written instructions available from the full instructions page. 2.
