The basics are substrate preparation, priming, Aqua Base, final render, Gela Cryl and varnish.

Detailed answer

The basic procedure is: substrate preparation, priming, base layer Aqua Base, final microcement, Gela Cryl TR100 and final varnish. The biggest mistakes do not occur in the last decorative layer, but already at the start – poorly prepared substrate, dust after sanding, too thick a layer, or rushing between steps. For the first application, we recommend making a sample and following the complete system.

Common mistakes

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