Layer 1 Prepare the surface.
Concrete surfaces must be in excellent condition without pores, cracks or excess moisture. And surface preparation means polishing, grinding, finishing, giving a good surface. suitable for bonding resin
2nd floor, floor bellow
when a good concrete surface is obtained Therefore, the foundation is made with a type of material. Epoxy resin, clear, 1 coat. Check that the primed surface is adequate. If not enough, apply one more coat of foundation.
3rd layer Base Coat
This layer is the texture layer that will support the surface of the vinyl flake chips, which is like the middle layer that needs to be thickened for the flake to adhere to.
4th layer, Flake layer (size 1/4")
This layer spreads the flake over the base coat that has not completely dried to allow the flake to adhere.
Level 5: Top Coat layer
The surface coating layer has a tough and uniform surface, usually using Polyurethane clear coating.
1 or 2 trips, if 2 trips are recommended
