Applying Microne Plus Medium with Terrazzo Flakes

If you chose the “Microne Plus” option when you ordered, you will have 1 bottle Microne Plus for each tub of Microne Medium.  Adding 1 x Microne Plus to each of the tubs, will make the surface stronger, more resistant to heat and more stain resistant.

Add 500g Microne Plus to 10kg Tub of Microne & mix well with a microcement mixer. That’s a mix ratio of 1:20.

Then you can add the terrazzo flakes & mix gently.

Once mixed, you’ll have 2 hours working time, so only mix what you need and make sure you’re ready to apply it straight away.

Mixing the Microne Medium with Terrazzo Flakes

Microne Medium is pre-mixed with the colour in the tub, all you need to do is give it a mix before you start to loosen it and make sure the colour is evenly distributed.

Then add Microne Plus Comp B to the Microne Medium at a ratio of 500ml Microne Plus Comp B : 10kg Microne Medium and mix well.

Finally, add 1kg Terrazzo Flakes & mix gently on a slow speed.  Take care not to mix too aggressively as this could cause the Terrazzo flakes to break down.

You will need 20kg of Microne Medium with Terrazzo to complete 1 coat over 10m2.

Applying the Microne Medium with Terrazzo

Use a Microcement Trowel and hold hold it quite flat to the surface. Don’t put as much pressure on as you did with the base coats to avoid crushing the flakes.

Gently spread the terrazzo across the area so that you have full coverage.

Leave to Dry

Leave the Microcement to dry. This should take around 12 hours. Drying times do vary depending on temperature and ventilation.

Sand with 40, 80 & 120 Grit Silicone Carbide Sand Paper

Sand with 40 grit sand paper to reveal the terrazzo in the microcement.  This will be a lot easier with an orbital sander than by hand.

Once you have revealed a good, even spread of terrazzo, move onto the 80 grit sand paper and give the whole area another sand.

Finally, use a 120 grit sand paper to tidy up your wark and close in the pours.

Vacuum the surface to remove all dust and debris. Do not wet the microcement.
