'How to' Guide: Concrete stenciling
Usage
Shieldcoat Stencilshield system is an acrylic stencil coating system designed for coating new or existing broom finished or exposed aggregate concrete. Stencilshield can also be successfully applied to asphalt or bitumen driveways and paths.
Grip/slip surface testing
Shieldcoat Stencilshield has been tested to an ATTAR Wet Pedulum Anti-Slip Test and found to be excellent with a rating of 58 mean average where 54 is a low chance of slipping.
Preparation
When applying a stencil coating to new or existing concrete preparation is very important. The first thing you will have to do is, thoroughly clean your concrete surface that you intend to stencil. You can do this with Shieldcoat Mouldshield C diluted 5:1 with water, apply with a soft broom and wash concrete clean with at least a 3000 P.S.I. water blaster, removing all residue of Mouldshield C. Allow to dry preferably overnight. If the driveway/path needs repairing due to cracking use Shieldcoat Stencilshield Slab Repair that comes in a natural concrete colour.
Application
After repairs are dry apply one coat of Stencilshield Primer Plus by roller. Allow approximately 2 hours to dry. Apply Shieldcoat Stencilshield Top/Base Coat by squeegee evenly to the entire surface of the concrete. Allow at least 2 hours drying time, overnight drying time or longer is recommended if cold weather or when concrete is in shady areas, before applying the stencil or tape lines, tape will not stick if not completely dry. Allow longer if needed.
Driveway Stenciling
After the Standard Base F has been applied and is dry then the stencil pattern can be laid and stuck down occasionally with Bostik Blu-Tak. If stencil paper is not used tape lines can be applied to the surface. Apply one fine coat of Stencilshield Top/Base Coat carefully over the stencil paper or tape lines preferably using a hopper gun or texture sprayer. A texture roller can be used; however, stencil paper will need to be held more firmly to the surface. Allow at least 2 hours to dry. Apply a thicker second coat of Stencilshield Top Coat. After overnight drying, maybe longer in cold conditions, remove stencil and apply one coat of Stencilshield Covercoat W (clear sealer) by lamb’s wool roller.
Safety
If you are DIY make sure that you read all application instructions thoroughly. Be sure to wear eye protection and a respirator when carrying out stencil coating. After 3-5 days your new stencil driveway or path should be ready to use.
