How to easily resurface a damaged or rough concrete surface with Watco Flowtop.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Watco Flowtop
Soft & Wire Brushes
Spiked Roller
Electric Drill fitted with Mixing Blade
Trowel & Float

STEP 1 - PREPARATION

Thoroughly clean the surface to ensure it is free of dust and dirt.
If the surface has heavy deposits of grease or oil, use Watco Concroff or for painted surfaces, Watco Bio-D.

STEP 2 - MIXING

Apply primer one to the prepared surface using a brush or soft broom.
Allow it to soak into the concrete for 15-20 minutes, or overnight if time permits.
Apply primer two. Ensure both primers are applied evenly to avoid ponding on the surface.
Immediately after primer two has been applied, begin mixing the supplied resin and powder.
Empty the bottle of resin into the bucket.
Gradually add the powder and mix using a mixing blade fitted to a slow speed electric drill.
Mix until an even colour and creamy consistency is obtained.

STEP 3 - APPLICATION

The mixed components should be used immediately.
Spread the mixed components across the surface with a trowel.
Immediately after application, use a spiked roller to remove air bubbles and create an even finish. Repeat a few minutes later if required.
Roll uniformly across the surface multiple times from different directions.
Do not use the spiked roller for more than 20 minutes after the product has been applied.
