POLYMER-MODIFIED CONCRETE RESURFACER

the surface being covered. Smaller amounts can be mixed by
hand.
4. Mix to a uniform, lump-free, stiff, pourable consistency similar
to pancake batter or honey. Mixing time is approximately 2-3
minutes. Do not retemper with extra water.
5. Warmer temperatures will reduce the working time. The
addition of cold water at high temperatures, or warm water in
low temperatures will aid in adjusting the mix temperature.
Application
1. For best results, do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot,
windy days, or when temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C)
within 48 hours of application. Protect from rainfall for at least
4 hours after application.
2. Clean concretes surface must be completely dampened with
no pooling water (also known as saturated surface dry, or
SSD). Apply to a uniform thickness of ⅛ - ¼ in. (3 - 6 mm)
with a flat trowel or long-handled squeegee applying some
pressure to ensure proper bond. A technique of alternating
between spreading with a squeegee and smoothing with a 24
in. drywall knockdown knife works well. Wetting the trowel
blade will aid in smoothing.
3. Color variation can occur when Resurfacer is applied at
uneven thicknesses, especially if it is paper thin in high
points and thicker in low points, and color can also vary due
to water amounts used, variation in the underlying concrete,
and curing conditions. Do not apply over control or expansion
joints.
4. This product develops initial set in approximately 10-20
minutes depending on temperature and humidity. Complete
troweling or broom finish as soon as possible, once thumb
print hard and before material hardens. Broom strokes
should be in the same direction, opposite the flow of traffic. A
concrete edger and groover can be used around the edges
for a finished look.
5. When desired application thickness is greater than ¼ in. (6
mm), additional layers can be applied after each layer sets
and surface can support foot traffic without indentation
(typically 2-4 hours depending on temperature and humidity).
Gently fog or lightly mist with water and remove any standing
water immediately before applying the second layer. If a
second layer is delayed longer than 24 hours, careful
cleaning and pressure washing may be needed to provide a
clean surface.
6. Protect the surface from use until the Concrete Resurfacer is
completely hard and set. On average, wait 4-6 hours before
allowing light foot traffic, and wheeled traffic in 12 hours
depending upon temperature and humidity.
7. For vertical applications such as stair risers, mix Concrete
Resurfacer to a trowelable consistency.
Curing
Do not wet the surface before the materials has reached final
set, at that time, begin moist curing with a gentle mist of water
or fog spray. Continue moist curing for 24-48 hours and prior to
use. Do not cover unless rain protection is necessary. If
desired, water-based sealers may be used per their
manufacturer’s instructions Repair can be painted with latex
masonry paints once cured for a minimum of 7 days and area
remains dry.
Clean Up
Use soapy water to clean hands and tools immediately after
use. Dried material must be mechanically removed. Use a
waste water hardener (e.g. Congelz
®
or similar product) for
cementitious waste disposal.
Limitations
• Follow all industry standard safety procedures when
handling, such as gloves and eye protection. Wear gloves at
all times, failure to do so can result in severe burns.
• Use only clean mixing containers and tools.
• Do not add any materials other than clean potable water, no
bonding additive is needed.
• Do not cover or fill expansion or control joints.
• Do not use more than the recommended amount of water.
Overwatering may cause excessive shrinkage, cracking,
reduce adhesion, and long term durability of Polymer-
Modified Concrete Resurfacer.
• The final color of Polymer-Modified Concrete Resurfacer will
be effected by application thickness, temperature, relative
humidity, wind velocity, sunlight and shading, and moisture
content of the surface.
• Ideal application temperatures are between 50°F-90°F (10°-
90°C).
• Do not apply over concrete cured less than 7 days or
surfaces that are frozen or contain frost.
• Surfaces must be clean; do not apply to painted or sealed
concrete surfaces.
• Do not apply over polyurethane or acrylic crack fillers.
• Existing cracks can reappear through Concrete Resurfacer
due to movement in the concrete base.
