There are few simple step to make sure coating apply can last long and working efficiently.

1. Make sure surface are CLEAN from any dust or particle. Its to make sure when we apply, it can absorb directly to concrete/slab surface.
2. Apply it by layer.  Applying 2-3 times is better than single apply. To apply it, we can use paint brush or roller which one is you prefer. For me, i like to use roller to get even surface and faster job
