Coverage

Thoroughly mix one part Sika® Film with eight parts water by volume. Apply the diluted Sika® Film solution with a fine mist sprayer as soon as possible after screeding. Use after bull floating and trowelling operations. When diluted at a ratio of one to eight, one gallon of Sika® Film will yield nine gallons of sprayable material. The total diluted material will cover an area of approximately 1600 - 3200 ft2 (150 - 300 m2).
