Microcement is a versatile decorative material that can be applied to various surfaces such as walls, floors, and countertops.
The following are the construction steps and precautions of microcement: Preparation: Surface cleaning: Thoroughly clean the surface of the construction area to remove dirt, dust, grease, etc.
Take protective measures: use plastic film or tape to seal off the areas that do not need to be constructed to prevent the micro-cement from splashing on other surfaces.
Undercoating: Before construction, pour the micro-cement powder into a clean container, according to the ratio provided by the manufacturer, add an appropriate amount of water and mix well until a uniform paste without particles is formed. Use a spatula or a steel scraper to spread the microcement paste evenly on the surface with a thickness of about 2-3mm to ensure a smooth surface. Wait for the underlying microcement to dry completely.
Middle coat: Mix microcement powder with water according to the ratio provided by the manufacturer. Use a spatula or a steel spatula to spread the microcement evenly on the underlying microcement surface with a thickness of about 2-3mm to ensure a smooth surface. Wait for the middle microcement to dry completely.
High layer application: In the same way, apply the micro-cement paste evenly on the surface of the middle layer of micro-cement, with a thickness of about 1-2mm, to ensure that the surface is smooth. Wait for the upper layer of microcement to dry completely.
Grinding and sealing: Sand the microcement surface with a sander or hand sanding tool until the desired smoothness and gloss are achieved. After making sure the surface is dry, seal it with a microcement-specific sealer. 1-2 coats of sealer can be applied as needed.
Precautions: When mixing microcement powder and clear water, please follow the ratio provided by the manufacturer to ensure the construction quality. When applying microcement, work evenly and quickly to avoid color discrepancies or marks. During the construction of microcement, try to avoid repeated application or correction, so as not to affect the construction effect, and it can be polished after one application. During the construction period, keep the construction area well ventilated and try to avoid water vapor retention, so as not to affect the curing of the micro-cement. The above are the basic steps and precautions for the construction of microcement, I hope it will be helpful to you! If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
