SureCrete Micro Topping (Gray)

Micro Topping
DESCRIPTION

SureCrete's Micro Topping is a trowelable thin concrete overlay for interior concrete surfaces. Micro Topping was designed to yield an exceptionally smooth tight-troweled finish. It may also be placed vertically on interior walls, creating the look of Venetian plaster. It may be as thin as 1/16" and be trowelled to a uniform even finish or burnished with a compressed variable finish. This material does not require a bond coat or primer on a cleaned and properly prepped substrate. You may stain this coating with EcoStains after curing or use Color Packs to integrally color the mix.

When restoring an old concrete surface, or even possibly some freshly poured ones, inevitably there is some discoloration and cracks, or possibly even patching. With Micro Topping thin concrete overlay, your newly created "blank canvas" can give you a nice clean surface to begin creating your new custom floor designs.

This version is gray. Micro Topping is also available in white.


HOW DO YOU APPLY?

We'll show you the best way to apply Micro Topping:

1.) Any surface receiving a cementitious coating must be clean, cured, sound and profiled. See our Surface Preparation products for more information on accomplishing this

2.) Make sure that temperatures will remain between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit and there will be no precipitation in the applied areas for a 48 hour period following application.

3.) Add 5 quarts water per 40 lb bag to 5 gal bucket and mix in any color desired for integral coloring of Micro Topping.

4.) Slowly introduce Micro Topping while continuously mixing and mix for a minimum of 1 minute once all product has been emptied into container. Scrape the sides of the bucket to make sure there are no "dry pockets" that didn't get mixed properly.

5.) Mist the surface of the concrete with water, and pour out a generous amount of Micro Topping thin concrete overlay.

6.) Tightly trowel or squeegee the product over your entire application area.

7.) If you need a second coat of Micro Topping thin concrete overlay, simply wait until the surface is properly cured – between 2-6 hours. Then simply apply the same as first coat!

8.) Once the surface is dry to the touch, it can accept stains and secondary colorants at this point, and is also ready to receive a sealer. Typical indoor applications would utilize a polyurethane or polyaspartic sealer.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

DO I HAVE TO USE TWO COATS OF MICRO TOPPING?

Not necessarily. It depends completely upon the design your looking for and
the substrate you're working with.

HOW DO I MAKE THOSE NICE TAPE PATTERNS IN THIN CONCRETE OVERLAY?

They're fairly simple to create, just check out our Design Ideas or Videos
section for a few pointers. If nothing else, feel free to attend one of our
local training opportunities throughout the country.

CAN I MIX MICRO TOPPING IN LARGE BATCHES?

While mixing in large batches can be done, it is important to never mix up
more than can be applied within a 45 minute time frame.

WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT COLORS AND CRACKS SHADOWING THROUGH MY MICRO TOPPING?

Micro Topping is applied at such a thin rate that imperfections will likely
show through in the first coat of the product. This would be a case where a
second coat would likely be desired.
