Olé provides outstanding high - gloss protection and beauty to unglazed Mexican paver tiles and other porous terra cotta surfaces with fewer coats. It has a long - lasting high - gloss finish suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and is UV resistant. It also meets LEED standards. Key features include ultimate high - gloss protection, suitability for porous Saltillo and terra cotta tiles, the ability to build higher gloss with fewer coats, indoor and outdoor usability, resistance to oil, grease, and food stains, a water - based safe formula for easy cleanup, and a low VOC content. A blend of advanced acrylic polymer technology, an antimar agent, UV inhibitors, and a grease and oil blocker makes it the perfect solution for sealing porous tiles. It hardens tiles against chipping and abrasion, giving them a long - lasting high - gloss look.
First, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of things like efflorescence, dirt, oil, wax, grease, and defective paints or sealers. If you've used acid to clean, neutralize and rinse the tile surface well before applying the sealer. You can use a paint pad applicator, brush, or low - pressure or airless sprayer to apply Olé. Apply 2 or more thin, even coats and let it dry for at least 4 hours between coats. Don't over - apply and prevent the sealer from puddling. You can use the coated surfaces within 24 hours after drying, but the protection against stains and abrasion will keep getting better for up to three weeks. The first coat covers about 150 - 200 square feet per gallon, and additional coats cover 200 - 300 square feet per gallon. Before starting a project, read the package directions and do a product test. For denser tiles, you can dilute the first coat with water. Olé can be used as a grout release. After grouting and cleaning up, wait 24 hours before sealing new grout. Indoors, apply and maintain Glaze ’N Seal Floor Polish over Olé, put protective pads under furniture, and clean floors often with a slightly damp mop and Glaze ’N Seal Neutral Cleaner. For tough cleaning, use Glaze ’N Seal Heavy Duty Cleaner. Outdoors, you can hose off the surface with plain water or use Glaze ’N Seal Neutral Cleaner. Reapply Olé whenever you want a renewed appearance and extra protection.
