Application

Do I have to sand every layer of Aqua Base?

It is recommended at least to smooth out irregularities and sharp transitions between layers.

Products and Systems

Do I need to buy a lacquer for the final microcement coat?

Yes, for regular use, a protective lacquer finish is essential.

Substrates

How Can I Identify Hollow Tiles?

By tapping; a hollow tile produces a different, more hollow sound and needs to be repaired or removed.

Application

How can I tell if it has been over-sanded?

Over-sanding is indicated by changes in the pattern, sanding through the layer, or uneven colour.

Substrates

How do I know if the substrate is sufficiently strong?

The substrate must not crumble, peel, dust or sound hollow.

Application

How Do I Know That Aqua Base Is Dry?

It is not damp to the touch, feels firm, matt, not sticky, and does not tear when sanded.

Application

How is microcement applied step by step?

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

Substrates

How Large Imperfections Does Microcement Cover?

Microcement follows the substrate; larger imperfections need to be levelled beforehand.

Application

How Long Does Aqua Base Take to Dry?

Usually a few hours, but it depends on temperature, humidity, and layer thickness.

Application

How long does Aqua Nature take to dry?

The drying time depends on conditions, usually several hours between steps.

Application

How long does Primer Plus take to dry?

The drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and the absorbency of the substrate.

Application

How many layers of Aqua Base are applied?

Usually one layer; two layers may be applied for reinforcement and covering old tiles.

Application

How many layers of Aqua Nature are applied?

Usually one final layer for a uniform finish and coverage.
