Applying Microne Plus Coarse

Mixing Microne Plus Coarse

The microcement is pre-mixed and the colour has been added to the tub, so all you need to do is give it a good mix to Tensure the colour is evenly distributed. hen add 500g Microne Plus to 10kg Tub of Microne & mix well with a microcement mixer. That’s a mix ratio of 1:20.

Once the Microne Plus has been added to the tub, you’ll have around 2 hours working time, so only mix it when you’re ready to use it.  And mix in batches if you have a large area.

Applying Microne Plus Coarse

Use the same technique as you did for the base coats. It’s important that you go as thin as the grain with Microne Coarse.

Here’s a reminder of the technique:

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 microcement as your level – if you apply the microcement 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.

Completely cover each surface without stopping. For complete rooms, start with ceilings, then walls from left to right (or right to left) and then the floor.

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

Once you have completed the coat, you’ll need to leave it to dry before sanding and applying sealers.  This will take at least 12 hours.

Sand with 40/80 Grit Silicone Carbide Sanding Disc

Once the Microcement is fully dry, gently & evenly sand the surface of the microcement with a 40 or 80 grit paper to remove any rough patches and drips. It should be flat from the trowel so you shouldn’t need to sand it too much at this stage.

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