Can Microcement Be Machine Sanded?

Yes, but with care to avoid over-sanding or circular marks.

Detailed answer

Microcement can be sanded both manually and mechanically, but always with precision. For larger surfaces, an eccentric sander with low to medium speed and diamond pads is suitable. The goal is to remove protrusions without sanding through the decorative layer. Corners and repairs are often better controlled by hand. We use handheld eccentric sanders with diamond pads.

Common mistakes

  • Applying a thick layer instead of a thin, grain-tight one
  • sanding without thorough dust extraction
  • rushing between layers and not allowing sufficient drying time.
