Wear gloves, glasses and mask, and work it over the tiles thoroughly and quickly as it evaporates within about 15 seconds, wash off with soapy sponge. Very happy with the results, but cannot over emphasize, safety, safety, safety. ## Frequently Bought Together - Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) - 5 Gallon Pail - Hayward D.E.CX1308 White Schmear Replacement for Hayward Unions In-line Sight Glasses and Perflex D.E.
