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.
