I always sweep any particles and dust off the concrete with a stiff bristle
broom, then lightly spray the surface with water, using a nozzle on a garden
hose, then brushing on the latex.. The bonding solution seems to bond better
that way. I don't know if your latex bond is the same stuff I used, which
looked and smelled like regular Elmers White Glue-All, but had a fancy
name. Whatever, it worked well.

When painting the old concrete with the latex bonding solution, is is
better to dampen the concrete first (with water) or put the
latex onto completely dry concrete?
