DG Dual Guard Instructions

Clean

    1. Wait 28 days after installing polymeric sand before sealing.
    2. Thoroughly sweep or blow the surface of joint sand or loose material.
    3. Spot clean if needed with one of these SRW Products speciality cleaners:
      1. CDX = Cleaner & Degreaser X-treme for oil and grease spots.
      2. RE = Rust Eliminator for rust and mineral removal.
    4. Prepare all pavers with one of these SRW Products cleaners:
      1. EF = for Efflorescence removal.
      2. PW = Paver Wash for general cleaning & polyhaze removal.
  1. Climate

    1. After cleaning, wait at least 24 hours before sealing. Surface and joints must be completely dry.
    2. Recommended application temperatures are 50° – 80°F (10°- 27°C) from installation through the cure process.
    3. Do not apply if inclement weather is forecasted within 24 hours.
  2. Apply

    1. It’s important to STIR THOROUGHLY before application.
    2. Apply with an SRW Products-approved Slit Foam Roller and sprayer.
    3. For best results spray, then back roll. This prevents an uneven finish.
    4. A 2-person application is recommended.
    5. Always spray against a wet edge and do not overlap a previously sealed and dried area.
    6. Start at the highest project elevation.
    7. Do not allow sealer to pool on pavers or in joints.
  3. Cure

    1. Allow the sealed area to dry and cure for 24 hours.
    2. Protect the area from water and rain until dry.
    3. Curing time ranges:
      1. Dry-tack free: 25 minutes.
      2. Foot traffic: 24 hours.
      3. Vehicle traffic: 72 hours.
      4. Note: All calculations based on 68° – 77°F (20° – 25°C).

    1. Initial: Up to 250 sq. ft. per gallon (23.23 sq. m. per 3.78 liters).
    2. Re-coat: Up to 400 sq. ft. per gallon (37.16 sq. m. per 3.78 liters).
    3. Coverage may vary depending on surface & application.
  5. CLEAN UP & STORAGE

    1. Clean sprayer & tools with SRW Specialty Clean™ XY Xylene Solvent. 
    2. Store container in a cool area with cap or lid firmly in place.  
  6.  RECOMMENDED TOOLS

    1.  For best results, use an SRW Products Heavy-Duty Construction Sprayer and a Slit Foam Roller X-treme. 
  7.  USER TIPS

    1. Test in an inconspicuous area before starting the general application to ensure desired results & expected finish. 

    2. Always follow paver manufacturer’s sealing recommendations. 

    3. If using on manufactured stone, ask dealer about cleaning & sealing procedures prior to application. 

    4. For a deeper sheen, wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat. This ensures the highest gloss appearance. Do not over apply. 

    5. For added slip resistance, use SRW SR Slip-Resist™. 

    6. Re-apply every 3 – 5 years. 

    7. For vertical applications, watch for dripping/pooling. Wipe with a brush if needed. 

    8. Do not use more than one sealer on the same project.

    9. Do not use on clay pavers/brick, slate, sandstone/bluestone or polished stone.

    10. Do not use on concrete overlays.

Wait for sand to fully cure before sealing. We recommend using an SRW General Cleaner before any sealer job. The use of an SRW General Cleaner ensures the pores on the surface of the pavers are ready to accept SRW Products Sealers.
We recommend waiting 60-90 days after the paver was manufactured before sealing. The paver manufacture date is typically provided on the pallet label. We always recommend using an SRW General Cleaner such as PW Paver Wash or EF Efflorescence cleaner prior to sealing pavers.
Yes. A SRW Products Slit Foam Roller or SRW Products Slit Foam Roller X-TREME roller is the best choice for backrolling because it helps evenly distribute the sealer and prevent it from pooling. The SRW Products Slit Foam Roller has been specifically designed for highly textured surfaces and pavers.
We recommend using SRW Products SS Sealer Striper. SS Sealer Stripper is a biodegradable, yet industrial-strength formula that removes sealing and curing compounds. Contact one of our territory managers if you have questions about removing a specific type of sealer.
SRW Products XY Xylene is a fast-acting solvent that thins and dissolves acrylic sealer to aid in tool clean up and overspray.

Yes, we recommend sealing on a pool deck.

Sealing with non-film forming sealers: Penetrating sealers are non-film forming that help minimize water and dissolved solids from absorbing into the pavers.

Sealing with film-forming sealers: If you will be using a film-forming sealer on a pool deck then we recommend the use of our X-TREME line of sealers (HGX, LGX etc.) with the addition of SR-Paver Grip to help with slip resistance. SR Paver Grip is sold in 3.2oz bags. 1 Bag of SR Paver Grip can be mixed with 1 gallon of SRW Products Sealers.
