STEP 1 – PREPARATION

• Ensure substrate is free from dust and dirt.
• Thoroughly sweep the surface to remove the dust.
• If the concrete is new or bare, remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch and Clean.

STEP 2 – MIXING

• Remove the three inner tins.
• Stir the content of the tins thoroughly.
• Pour the mixed components back into the larger tin.
• Scrape around the inside of the tin to remove all contents.
• Stir thoroughly to ensure it is well mixed with an even colour.
• Pour the coating into a plastic scuttle for immediate use.

STEP 3 – APPLICATION

• Use a paint brush to cut in around the edges of the surface.
• Apply using a medium pile roller (not foam).
• Work in measurements of 5m2 areas.
• Immediately sprinkle the anti slip aggregate evenly onto the wet coating.
• Sprinkle the aggregate to achieve your desired finish, total or light coverage.
• Using the same roller, roll over the sprinkled aggregate to bed in and create an even finish.
