Concrete Application Instructions
Before You Start
Surface must be clean, dry, and free of grease, oils, or debris.
Ideal application temperature: 50–80°F.
Make sure the concrete is dry to the touch before priming.
Step 1 – Prime the Surface
Apply Re-Surfx® Primer evenly to the clean, dry concrete surface.
Allow primer to set until dry to the touch.
Step 2 – Mix Resin & Stain
In a clean 5-gallon bucket, combine:
2 gallons of water-based solid color concrete stain (recommended: H&C Heavy Shield or equivalent)
1 gallon of Re-Surfx® Resin
Mix thoroughly with a high-speed paddle mixer for 30 seconds.
Step 3 – Add Aggregate
Slowly add 1 bag of aggregate while mixing.
After all aggregate is added, continue mixing for 1–2 minutes.
Scrape bucket sides to ensure all white particles are blended.
Mixture should be thin, smooth, and easy to apply.
Step 4 – Apply First Coat
Apply using a 1/2" nap roller (brush may be used for edges or tight areas).
Make sure all cracks and voids are filled on the first coat.
Step 5 – Apply Second Coat
Once the first coat is dry to the touch, apply a second coat using the same method.
Coverage is typically greater on the second coat.
Step 6 – Seal With UV Protection
Finish with a thin layer of Re-Surfx® Clear UV Sealer using a 3/8" nap roller.
Curing
Allow 2–3 days for full curing.
Keep furniture, pets, plants, and foot traffic off the surface until fully cured.
