PROCEDURE FOR FOR SIMULATED KOOLDECK
DAY ONE
- Rocks and grass are moved away from the concrete allowing the tuscany texture to flow over the sides.
- The surface is checked for any grease, oil and tar which will be removed this thinner (xylene.)
- The surface is etched with muriatic acid which will remove dirt and grime. Also opening pours or the concrete for proper bond.
- All Concrete is treated with ammonia; this neutralizes any acid left behind.
- Vapor Solve primer is brush + rolled on surface
- Let dry over night
DAY TWO
After surface is cleaned + blown off, second coat of vapor solve 100 is brushed and rolled on
DAY THREE
- Fill cracks on top of surface at no charge but concrete may shift so we cannot guarantee cracks.
- A coat of acrylic additive is rolled on to seal the concrete acting as a primer (if no vaporsolve.) We paper and tape the house, walls, windows, etc.
- A layer of acrylic aggregate is sprayed out of a hopper on the surface to act as another primer and the first coat of texture.
- A heavier coat of acrylic aggregate is sprayed on to make texture and troweled down to make the look of kooldeck.
- Last we clean up and let dry overnight.
DAY FOUR
- The surface is scraped down and blown off to clean any chunks and dirt left behind.
- A thin bead of caulk is put between any opening in the joints and the house to seal the crack where needed, There is no extra charge for this service but we cannot guarantee the shifting of concrete.
- An acrylic color of choice is rolled and brushed on kooldeck to seal surface.
- We apply a two-part component of polyurethane 250 clear coat with UV absorbers and hindered amine light stabilizers. Which will outlast one component acrylic for many years.
