Cemher Iron Micrometal + Aquatix

Rated 4.5/5 by hundreds of happy customers

£35.00 – £141.00 (incl. VAT)

Options

Micrometal, fine spherical iron powder is mixed with Aquatix to create a liquid metal that can be applied by trowel to create seamless metallic surfaces. Once dry, the metal can be polished to create a reflective, metallic surface.

Add the MicroMetal to a mixing bucket and add a small amount of Aquatix, mix thoroughly, then continue to add small amounts of Aquatix until it reaches a workable consistency.

Let the mixture rest for a few minutes before applying. Keep a lid on it between coats.

Using a Microcement Trowel, work your way out from one corner creating a random edge pattern. Keep trowel movements small and random, avoid long sweeping arches – as these will show through to your final finish.

Use the grain in the liquid metal as your level – if you apply it thicker than the size of the grain, the finish won’t be as strong and will require a lot more sanding. Run the trowel back over each section that you have put down to smooth it out and remove excess product.

Run your finger or a corner trowel along internal corners to push the microcement into the corner and then gently trowel away the excess product.

Leave to dry, minimum 24 hours.

Polishing the Metal

Work over the whole area with a 400 grit sanding disc on an orbital sander, sand all areas evenly so that you achieve a uniform depth across the area.

The 400 grit will expose the metal, where as subsequent grits will polish the exposed metals. Before moving to the next grit ensure you are happy with the level of cut in your work.

Continue to work up the grits, increasing the speed as you go. The following table shows the relative speed for each of the grits.
