Description
DuraBase™ Resurfacing Compound is a premium dry cementitious-based component of a three-part decorative resurfacing system designed to rejuvenate, protect and enhance existing concrete surfaces. When mixed with DuraPolymer™ and DuraTint™, it produces a durable, textured and decorative coating suitable for driveways, patios, paths and floors. The system provides excellent adhesion, strength and long-term wear resistance, delivering a decorative finish ideal for residential and commercial applications.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: The technical data sheet MUST be read before commencing the project, as well as prior to application and mixing processes.
Quick Application Overview – Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for detailed instructions.
Step 1 – Surface Preparation
Grind, acid etch or pressure clean (minimum 2000 psi) to remove contaminants. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Repair cracks or damaged areas before coating.
Step 2 – Masking and Protection
Before application, ensure surrounding surfaces, landscaping and adjoining areas are protected. Cover or mask nearby walls, doors, plants and grass to prevent overspray.
Step 3 – Prime the Surface
Apply the primer mix (1 Part DuraPolymer™ to 3 Parts Clean Water) by broom, roller or sprayer. Allow to dry completely.
Step 4 – First Base Coat
Mix DuraBase™ Resurfacing Compound with DuraPolymer™ and DuraTint™. Apply the first base coat by hopper gun, trowel, or squeegee. Allow to dry. Where a pattern is desired, stencil or tape may be applied either before or after the first base coat, depending on the desired finish and application method.
Step 5 – Second Base Coat
Apply the second base coat using the same mixture and method as Step 4. Allow to dry completely.
Step 6 – Pattern Removal (If Applied)
Remove stencil or tape once dry.
Step 7 – Seal the Surface
Once fully dry, apply two coats of DCC Concrete Sealer AC30™ as per Technical Data Sheet.
Dry Times: Pot Life: 35 – 50 minutes, Light Foot Traffic: 24 hours @ 25°C, Vehicular Traffic: 7 days @ 25°C. The pot life and all drying times generally depend on air circulation, temperature, humidity, film thickness, and application methods. Two coats as minimum recommended.
COVERAGE: 10 – 15m² per 20kg bag with compatible Durable Concrete Coatings products. Coverage is dependent on profile of surface, spread rate, and application methods.
