At what speed should microcement be sanded?

Use low to medium speeds and monitor both temperature and sanding aggressiveness.

Detailed answer

Microcement can be sanded manually or mechanically, but always with care. For larger surfaces, an eccentric sander with low to medium speeds and diamond pads is suitable. The aim is to remove protrusions without sanding through the decoration. Corners and repairs are often better controlled manually.

Common mistakes

  • applying a thick layer instead of a thin layer to the grain
  • sanding without thorough dust extraction
  • rushing between layers and not allowing proper drying time
