How to Apply Ninja Sealers Non-Skid Sealer to Floors and Wet Areas
Looking for a Slip-Resistant finish that lasts?
This makes it ideal for:
- Shower Floors
- Pool Decks
- Entryways
- Commercial Kitchens
- Any area where slips are a concern
Step 1: Clean and Prepare the Surface (Including Grout)
Start with a spotless surface. Remove all:
- Dirt and dust
- Grease or soap residues
- Mineral buildup or old sealers
👉 Grout lines must also be cleaned thoroughly. If grout is missing, crumbling, or cracked, repair it and allow to cure fully before applying the non-skid sealer. An unsealed or damaged grout line can compromise adhesion and performance.
Use a tile-safe degreaser or cleaner, scrub as needed, rinse with water, and let the surface dry fully.
Step 2: Ensure the Surface Is Completely Dry
Moisture can interfere with adhesion. After cleaning:
- Wait at least 12–24 hours for the surface to dry fully.
- Don’t apply if rain or moisture exposure is expected within 24 hours (for outdoor projects).
Step 3: Final Wipe with Isopropyl or Denatured Alcohol
Ensure oils or residues are removed
- Before sealing, do a quick wipe with isopropyl or denatured alcohol using a clean microfiber cloth.
This ensures any leftover oils or residues are removed.
Step 4: Apply the Non-Skid Sealer
Use one of the following:
- 3/8” nap roller for floors or textured surfaces
- Microfiber pad for smooth tile
- HVLP or pump sprayer for larger or exterior areas
Apply 1–2 light, even coats:
- For low-traffic or light use areas, 1 coat may suffice.
- For wet areas or high-traffic zones, 2 coats are recommended.
- Allow the first coat to dry to the touch before applying a second coat.
👉 As it dries, the surface will develop a fine texture for slip resistance—no mixing or additives needed.
Step 5: Dry Time and Safe Use
Dry Time and Safe Use
- Light foot traffic: Allow at least 4 hours
- Full cure & heavy use: Wait 24 hours
- Avoid cleaning or scrubbing the surface during curing
Tips for Best Results
Stir gently before use—do not shake
- Always test a small spot first to confirm appearance and traction
- Mask off surrounding surfaces to prevent overspray or roller marks
