(407) 442-7334 TerraKoat EX Decomposed Stabilizer Important Information: If you are using TerraKoat EX Concentrate, be sure to dilute 4 parts water to 1 part TerraKoat EX Concentrate before application. Application Instructions

DESCRIPTION: TerraKoat EX Stabilizer is a unique blend of acrylic polymers & pine tree rosin designed to bind together a wide variety of small aggregates commonly referred to as decomposed (dg): pathway mixes, crusher runs, etc. TerraKoat EX Stabilizer is easy to apply and is the only stabilizer of it's kind. "There truly is no equal."

FEATURES • Easy to apply process. • Creates a strong bond on a wide variety of aggregates. • Resists surface erosion from both rain water and foot traffic. • Easy to maintain. • Reduces dust, migration and erosion. • Allows for the use of patio/pathway year round. • No special tools or skills required to build. • Build using local aggregates. • Will not harm plants or aquatic life. • EPA-compliant. INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEWA NEW INSTALLATION INSTALLATION 1. AGGREGATE SELECTION FOR FINAL SURFACE: Select an aggregate that contains a variety of sizes. For instance, mixes such as 3/8 minus, 1/4 minus or 3/16 minus work well with TerraKoat EX Stabilizer, Single size aggregates like 3/8 clean or pea gravel are not suitable. 2. STRUCTURAL STONE BASE PREPARATION: Before starting the actual project, factors such as climate, native soil type, amount of use, should be taken into consideration. As a rule of thumb, “The better the base preparation, the better the results.” For optimum performance, install 4 to 6 in. of 3/4 minus crushed stone, then compact using a vibratory plate compactor.In restricted areas where a compactor will not fit, use a hand tamper. 3. SURFACE AGGREGATE: For a 2"compacted depth, spread 3" of DG over the compacted structuralstone base. This will compact down to 2" in step #6. Rake or screed to the desired level, and slope to allow water run off. Do not compact until after TerraKoat EX Stabilizer has been applied. 4. PRE-WATER THE SURFACE water the surface with a garden hose. Water needs to percolate to the bottom of the DG. The DG should be moist but not muddy. Adding to much water can cause cracking . Wait 30 to 90 minutes + - before adding TerraKoat EX Stabilizer. 5. APPLY THE TerraKoat EX Stabilizer: For smaller projects use a watering can with a shower head spout or pump sprayer to apply. For larger projects a powered sprayer or distributor truck can be used to apply the TerraKoat EX Stabilizer to the surface. Apply the Stabilizer at the rate of 20 Sqft. per gallon for residential pedestrian use, or 12 Sqft per gallon for commercial pedestrian use. Till the stabilizer into the DG. The TerraKoat EX Stabilizer should fully penetrate throughought the DG. 6. COMPACTION: While surface is still damp but not saturated, compact the surface with a vibratory plate compactor for smaller projects, or a ride on roller in static mode for largere projects. Two or three passes are recommended. In locations where a compactor is not feasible a hand tamper may be used. The better the compaction, the better the results. 7.

TERRAKOAT EX DECOMPOSED GRANITE STABILIZER

REBUILDING AN EXISTING SURFACE 1. Scarify or rototill 1 inch of the surface, break up any clumps until it has the consistancy of untreated DG. Add new DG as needed. 2. Follow steps 3 to 7 of instructions for new installation on page with an appication rate of 30 sqft per gallon.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE

1. In order to extend the life of your DG we recommend that a maintenance Koat of DG-RainKoat Decomposed Granite Weather Seal be to be applied annually. Preferably before the rainy season. Apply DG-RainKoat at the rate of 60 sqft per gallon. For added protectection against harsher weather, A second coat can be applied. DG-RainKoat is sold @ www.TerraKoat.com

IMPORTANT

• In locations where the plate compactor or ride on roller will not reach use a hand tamper or a block of wood and a hammer compact corners and other hard to reach areas. • All crushed stone aggregates are not created equal, when in doubt, do a test area. • TerraKoat EX Stabilizer does work on , but sands are not considered as strong “structurally speaking” as a crushed stone mix with larger size stones like a 3/8 minus would have. • TerraKoat EX Stabilizer does not make concrete, expect that some surface aggregates may become loose over time. • In some instances a crack may appear, if the foundation is not well prepared. • Slope the surface so water will run off. • Form or taper the edges (if you choose to form, leave them in place when done). • Allow 24 to 48 hours at a temperatureabove 60°F (16°C) for surface to cure. • Do not apply TerraKoat EX Stabilizer if rain is expected within 48 hours. • Please store TerraKoat EX Stabilizer container at above 32°F (0°C). • Divide your coverage surface into sections to ensure a equal application of the product. • Avoid temperatures below 50° or above 85° F for any phase of the installation. On warmer days it is best to install in the morning.
