How do I store the remaining fluid?

What do I do if I spill the fluid?

Can I apply this in cold weather?

Troubleshooting
Surface remains white after application.
Ensure the surface was completely clean and dry before application. Reapply, following the instructions carefully. If the issue persists, the existing sealer may be incompatible; test a small area first.
Sealer is not softening or reactivating.
Ensure the fluid is compatible with the existing sealer (solvent-based acrylic). Allow sufficient time for the fluid to work; the reactivation process may take several hours. If it still doesn't soften the existing sealer, it might not be compatible. Test on a small area first before complete application.
Uneven application or finish.
Apply the fluid evenly using the correct method (brush, roller, or sprayer). Avoid applying too much fluid in one area. Ensure the application tool is appropriate for the surface.
