Application

Roughly 2/3 of YAPIFINE BASE QUARTZ should be spread on the surface. The material should not be left in clusters, distributed as homogenous as possible. Also, avoid spreading to long distances not to decompose the aggregates in the product. This process can be done manually or by special spreading equipment. Wait scattered material to change colour by absorbing the water of the concrete. The material should be rubbed into the surface with low cycle rotary float (mechanical trowel) and be ensured to integrate with the concrete. The same process is repetad for the remaining material. Once the surface is hard enough to the extent that walking on it becomes possible, the final finishing should be performed by high cycle finishing. Switch to knife finishing and continue this process until the desired glossiness is achieved.
