Applying the First Coat of Microne Plus Base
If you chose the “Microne Plus Base” option when you ordered, you will have 1 bottle of Microne Plus for every tub of Microne Base. 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.
Once mixed, you’ll have 45 minutes to 1 hour working time, so only mix what you need and make sure you’re ready to apply it straight away.
Mixing 1st Coat of Microne Plus Base with Colour
Add 1 x colour toner for Microne Base to the tub and mix thoroughly. You can add a small amount of water to the bottle and shake thoroughly to get all of the toner out of the bottle.
Unlike the Top Coats, the colour for Base Coats is not an accurate match to the swatch, it’s just enough to take it in the right direction before Top Coats are applied.
And it’s not always essential that you add colour to the 1st base coat, but we have included it incase your order requires a tub to be split between the 1st and 2nd base coat.
Add 500ml Microne Plus Comp B to 10kg Microne Base with Colour and mix well. 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.
Applying the 1st Coat of Microne Base Plus
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. You should still be able to see the mesh after after applying this coat.
Completely coat 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.
