Before you get started, make sure to read all of the instructions and watch the short how to video for best application practices. These application instructions apply for DOMINATOR SG+, LG+ and NG+.


Coverage Rate: 250-400 square feet per gallon, per coat

1. PREPARE &TEST

The surface to be sealed should be properly cleaned before the sealer is applied. The surface should be free of dirt, oil, contaminants, and any other substance that could interfere with the sealer penetrating the pavers as intended. Ensure that the surface has not been recently sealed. If there is evidence of a previous sealer on the surface, remove prior to application of the sealer. If this product is applied over previously sealed surfaces, adherence issues may occur. Do NOT use PRO TECH SERIES sealers if the surface has previously been sealed with a solvent-based sealer. Protect surfaces not intended to be sealed. Cleaning can be performed the day before or the same day as the sealing. It is acceptable to seal the damp surface if there is no standing water; however, to obtain optimal performance, a drier surface is better. The surface temperature should be between 40-90° F (4-32° C) and should not drop below the minimum temperature for 12 hours from the start of application. If the temperature is above 90° F, use water to cool the surface to the proper temperature. Perform a small test area (at least 2 sq. ft.) using the product to ensure suitability and the desired results prior to full application. Test for application coverage rate. Use the same preparation, equipment and conditions expected during the entire application. Due to the wide variety of substrates, preparation methods, application methods and environments, test the product in an inconspicuous spot for penetration and compatibility prior to full application.

2. APPLY

HORIZONAL SURFACES: Do NOT Dilute or alter the product. Shake the PRO TECH SERIES container prior to use as some settling may have occurred. Note that this product prevents water penetration of the surface, resulting in a beading effect. Generally, apply two coats of sealer to brick paver or wood surfaces.  Ensure smooth application of sealer. If spraying, use even, broad strokes to avoid streaking. If rolling, keep a wet edge during application to avoid streaking. If product puddles or drips on the surface, back-roll to smooth out excess product for even coverage. DO NOT FLOODCOAT. The sealer should be absorbed prior to applying subsequent coats. Conditions such as surface porosity, temperature and shade can impact the time needed between coats, in addition to the number of coats necessary to achieve the desired results. Previously sealed surfaces and extremely dense surfaces may only require one coat of sealer. Some extremely porous pavers may require a densifier before application. We recommend a single coat of Paver PreTreat prior to a one coat application on very porous pavers. The sealer requires air to dry, so wait 45 minutes between coats. If a light rain occurs more than an hour after sealing, then there should not be any issues. The sealer may turn white, but it will dry clear once the moisture escapes. VERTICAL SURFACES: Apply the material from the bottom of the wall upwards spraying so that it will run down the surface at least six inches below the spray pattern. After applying one coat, wipe the access off with a non linting cloth to avoid streaking. See above instructions for more information on applying the product.

3. CLEANUP & MAINTAIN

Place any unused sealer back into original container to store for future use. Clean equipment thoroughly until free of sealer residue. Sealer will stain clothing, but can be removed from skin with a mild cleaner. Store in a cool, dry place, but do not let the product freeze; and dispose of properly if it is allowed to freeze. Please note: Waste from this product is not hazardous as defined under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 40 CFR 261. Incinerate in approved facility. Do not incinerate closed container. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State/Provincial, and Local regulations regarding pollution. Remove oil and other fluids from the sealed surface as soon as possible using a mild cleaning agent. Avoid pressure washing pavers for 45 days following sealing. Do not use harsh chemicals (e.g., paint thinners, strippers, solvents) on the sealed areas.


  • How do I clean my sprayer?

    Use warm water and soap or a light household cleaner.

  • What do I do if there are white spots on my newly sealed surface after it rains?

    Leave the surface alone. It will dry clear so no attention is needed. This should not reoccur after 30 days.

  • What happens if I apply too much sealer?

    This will significantly increase product dry & cure times, Can cause adhesion issues and Will not achieve desired results.

  • Can the sealer be applied onto damp surfaces?

    The color-enhancing sealers can be applied to damp surfaces if there is no standing water. However, it is recommended to have the surface as dry as possible to ensure the product will absorb thoroughly.

  • How do I prevent streaking?

    Streaking generally occurs when the product is applied in an uneven manner. To avoid this, apply sealers with a sprayer. Then, back roll the product (keeping a wet edge) after spraying to prevent streaking.

  • Do I have to strip sealer each time before resealing?

    No, if you are resealing using the same Black Diamond Coatings product. However, if sealing over an older sealer or solvent based sealer, stripping may be necessary if previous sealer remains on the surface.
