Re-Coat

Specifications

Renew-Crete® Re-Coat is installed quickly with little hassle and minimum closure period. To ensure superior bonding, the old surface is thoroughly cleaned and pressure-washed to remove any impurities or chemicals. Cracks and defects on the old concrete surface are repaired before a thin layer of Re-Coat is applied over the surface. If broom finish is desired, the material is allowed to dry slightly before applying the broom finish. The dried surface is finally coated with Renew-Crete® Sealer to form a protective layer.

Surface Preparation
The concrete surface must be clean and free of all loose material, oil residue, sealers or paints.
Clean thoroughly by using a pressure washer with a degreaser or stripper if necessary. Etch the surface using a 1-4 acid solution.
Rinse clean and neutralise.

Mixing Instructions
In a clean 20 litre pail measure 4.75 litres of clean water. Using a drill with a mixing wand, slowly add the dry Re-Coat to the water as you are running the mixing wand. Once you have added all the material, continue to mix thoroughly for 2 minutes to a fluid consistency with no lumps. You may add up to 1 additional litre of water if needed.

Application Instructions
Patch & leveling:
Start by misting the surface with water, (surface should be damp only, no standing water) then apply the Re-Coat mix. Screed where necessary, smooth with a round edged trowel, keeping all tools clean and moist, finish as desired (i.e. broom texture, etc.) Allow all patch and leveled areas to dry before applying Re-Coat. It is also a good idea to smooth the edges around patches with a damp sponge within 2 hours.

Broom Finish:
Start by misting the surface with water, then apply the Re-Coat with squeegee, allow material to dry slightly (3-10 Minutes), then follow with a broom.

Note: If a great deal of patching has been done you may need to apply second coat over the entire area to ensure colour uniformity. Wait until the first application is dry and then re-apply.

Coverage
1-20 kg. unit will cover approximately 14 - 23 square meters broomed or squeegeed or 2 square meters at 6 mm thick.
