How to Apply MicroTek Overlay
- Surface Prep: Ensure the substrate is clean, cured, sound, and properly profiled. Keep the application area between 50 °F and 90 °F for optimal curing.
- Mixing: Pour 5 quarts of water into a 5-gallon bucket (add your chosen Color Pack to the water first, if using one). Slowly introduce the 40 lb bag of MicroTek while mixing continuously. Mix for at least 1 minute until completely smooth. Scrape the sides of the bucket to ensure no dry pockets remain.
- Application: Lightly mist the prepared concrete surface with water. Pour a generous amount of the mixture and spread it tightly over the area using a standard trowel, magic trowel, or squeegee.
- Second Coat (If Needed): If a second layer is required to hide severe imperfections, wait 2 to 6 hours for the first coat to properly cure, then apply using the same method.
- Finishing & Sealing: Once the surface is dry to the touch, it is ready to accept stains or secondary colorants. Finish the project by applying a high-quality protective sealer, such as a polyurethane or polyaspartic coating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to apply two coats of MicroTek?
A: Not necessarily. It completely depends on your desired finish and the condition of your existing substrate. A single coat is often sufficient for surfaces in good condition, while heavily blemished floors may require a second pass.
Q: How can I create custom tape patterns or faux tile designs?
A: Creating custom patterns is surprisingly simple! By applying specialized fiber or filament tape over your prepared surface before troweling the overlay, you can easily achieve faux grout lines, tile patterns, or geometric designs.
Q: Can I mix the overlay in large batches?
A: While you can mix larger quantities, it’s crucial that you only mix as much product as you can realistically apply within a 45-minute window. This prevents the material from setting inside the bucket before you have time to trowel it out.
Q: Why are cracks or color variations from the old concrete showing through?
A: Because MicroTek is designed to be applied extremely thin, severe imperfections or stark color differences in the original concrete might "shadow" through the initial layer. If this happens, simply apply a second coat once the first layer has cured to achieve a solid, flawless finish.
