Not sure if an Aldon product is right for you? Good! You never know if the results will be exactly what you expect until you try it on your project. Order   Samples of Aldon products  and eliminate the guesswork. See label reproduction below for application instructions.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Acrylic in a solvent base.
  • Highly penetrating
  • Light amber color will enhance natural surfacing colors
  • Gloss can be customized from low to high
  • Tung oil, linseed oil, wax do not strengthen the body of a soft mexican tile. Mexiglaze does.
  • Tung oil and linseed oil can create color problems if a sealer is desired later.
  • Tung oil, linseed oil, wax is a high maintenance process. Mexiglaze is not.
ITEMS OF INTEREST:
  • High solids for efficient filling of porous Mexican tile and other highly absorbent materials.
  • Used indoors and outdoors. Does not yellow.
  • Does not break down over time, so only needs to be done once.
  • Applying per instructions will do the following:
    • Stop efflorescence.
    • Stop "lime pops" on Mexican tile.
    • Strengthen softer surfacing, like Mexican tile, terracottas, soft stones, etc.
    • Prevent peeling because it is penetrated into the surface, not just painted on top.
  • An Aldon sealer can do a lot more than just protect and look pretty. See the   for addressing other benefits of using a sealer, such as: strengthening weak or powdery surfaces, making minor color problems disappear, stopping efflorescence, etc. These issues are covered in detail in
  • You can protect a glossy finish sealer from traffic wear patterns by using Aldon Lifeguard. However, if you do not use "Lifeguard", the sealer is very easy to touch up. New "Mexiglaze" applied on top of old "Mexiglaze" will melt the old sealer and all will bond together.
  • See the product label reproduction below for all the information on surface preparation, application technique, drying time, etc. This label reproduction will always be the most current. Because we are constantly improving information and passing on tips from users, this could be more up to date than the label on the container.
  • If you have extremely porous surfacing that seems to be absorbing too much sealer, click here for the technique to decrease the gallonage of sealer needed.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If you do not see the results you expect:

It is not a problem with the product! (They all do what we say they do!)

  1. Your conditions may have been misdiagnosed! (It can happen, even with all the information we provide.)
  2. The surface conditions (absorption rate, contaminents, temperatures, etc.) are other than thought.
  3. And/or - it was not applied per label instructions! (The instructions are designed to overcome items 1 and 2 above, and overcome job conditions of which you might not be aware.)

When you read all the health and safety warnings, you will see we have done our best to make you think about working with any chemicals from any manufacturer. Even household cleaners purchased in supermarkets (many with more hazardous ingredients than we use due to cost factors) should be used with common sense and awareness. People have been injured by not knowing you can create poisonous gases by mixing chlorine bleach with some cleaning products. One of the many criteria involved in Aldon products is that all our products will be used with any other of our products and no normal combination of usage events should be hazardous. Nevertheless, use common sense and don't be in a hurry. Let each step prove itself satisfactorily before proceeding to the next.
