Preparation

Option 1 – Dustless Grinding:

Uses a grinder with a dust collection system to smooth the concrete and create a textured surface for better adhesion.

Option 2 – Shot Blasting:

Blasts the surface with steel balls to clean and roughen it, ideal for larger areas and tough substrates.

Option 3 – Etching:

Applies an acid-based solution to lightly roughen the surface, suitable for lighter-duty applications.

Filling Divots and Cracks:

Use epoxy or concrete repair paste to fill cracks and divots, ensuring a level surface.

Let Epoxy Paste Harden, Then Sand:

Allow the repair paste to cure, then lightly sand the area to smooth out any imperfections.

Sweep and Vacuum Ready for 1st Coat:

Clean the surface thoroughly by sweeping and vacuuming to remove dust and debris, ensuring a clean substrate for the first coat.

A well-prepared concrete substrate ensures a smooth, durable, and long-lasting floor finish.
