Surface preparation
Proper surface preparation is crucial. Concrete must be clean, dry, and free of all grease and contaminants.
Cleaning
Wash the surface using Passeport Élite Concrete Preparation. Rinse thoroughly and let dry for at least 48 hours. For oil stains, use Passeport Élite Degreaser.
Sanding/Grinding
Resurfacing with a diamond-head polisher is by far the best surface preparation, but it can be replaced by sanding for most residential projects. Sand the surface using a sander equipped with 60-grit sandpaper to remove old layers of paint.
Dust Removal
Completely remove dust from the surface using a shop vacuum. Clear the surface of all contaminants and fine concrete dust.
Patching
Widen cracks using a grinder to remove loose particles, then clean with a shop vacuum. Use a concrete crack filler. The epoxy can be applied 4 to 6 hours later.
Catalysis and Mixing
Stir each component separately. Pour all the hardener (component B) into the epoxy resin (component A). Mix well for 4 minutes at low speed (300 to 450 rpm) using a drill equipped with a mixer. Avoid mixing at too high a speed to prevent bubbles. Regularly scrape the sides and bottom of the bucket with a stick to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes. Apply entirely within the next 30 minutes.
Important
Proper stirring is essential for the hardener to act uniformly. The product must be applied within 30 minutes of mixing.
Application:
Pour the product directly onto the floor in several ribbons. Quickly perform the edging with a brush. Then, use a squeegee to spread the product, and back-roll (left to right, then front to back). It is important to ensure uniform spreading over the entire surface and avoid creating puddles.
