3.2 GENERAL PREPARATION
     
  A. Protect surrounding and adjacent surfaces in a manner recommended by the coating manufacturer.
  B. Scrape or grind protrusions flush with the surface.
  C. Dislodge dirt, mortar spatter, and other dry materials by scraping or brushing. Remove dust and loose material by brushing, sweeping, vacuuming, and/or blowing with clean, dry, high pressure air.

3.3 SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
     
  A. Concrete Slab (on Grade):
   
1. For optimum performance of the Spray-Crete System new concrete should be cured for 28 days at 75 degrees F . The absolute minimum cure time at 75 degrees F is 7 days.
2. Obtain optimum surface profile before installing the Spray-Crete System. Surface profile should be that of 80 grit sand paper. Obtain this profile by various methods such as blast cleaning, scarification, sand blasting or acid etching(ASTM D 4260). Check for proper PH after any acid etching (ASTM D 4262).
