DIRECTIONS / COVERAGE
General: Multiple applications provide greater effect. Ensure application and mixing equipment is thoroughly washed immediately after application. Sprayers should be thoroughly flushed with hot water and soap after application. Allow surfaces to dry before reintroducing traffic. Allow 24-hours to cure before load or water (including rainfall) are applied to the treated surfaces. Remove excess product (e.g. overspray areas) by rinsing with water prior to the product drying. Likewise, thoroughly flush with water any foliage which may have accidentally been oversprayed with Ground Glue Tech-Tonic.
Good: Apply single treatment topically with a sprayer or watering can. Apply until treatment begins to pool on surface of substrate.
Better: Apply up to three treatments as above. Allow surfaces to dry before reapplication (approximately 1 hour between each).
Best: Treat gravel, sand, soil or mulch substrates prior to installation. Using a shovel, trowel or similar device, mix clean and dry substrate with a single treatment of Ground Glue Tech-Tonic in a container such as a wheelbarrow, drum or bucket(s). After thorough mixing, shovel, dump, and the level treated substrate onto the intended. This method will yield the greatest coverage and effectiveness.
