APPLICATION PROCEDURE and SPREAD RATES
A Double Broadcast application should yield a uniform appearance and an approximate 1/8" thickness.
Procedure is as follows:
1. Prepare the surface as recommended.
2. Apply Dur-A-Glaze #4 at approximately 100 sq. ft. per gallon.
3. Broadcast Q28 Colored Quartz at approximately 1/2 lb. per sq. ft.
4. Let cure. (Cure times vary depending on hardener selection, from 2 to 10 hours.)
5. Sweep up excess sand.
6. Apply Dur-A-Glaze #4 at approximately 100 sq. ft. per gallon. This application serves as a base coat for a second broadcast.
7. Broadcast Q28 Colored Quartz at approximately 1/2 lb. per sq. ft.
8. Repeat steps 4 & 5.
9. Apply first top coat of Dur-A-Glaze #4 at 100-125 sq. ft. per gallon.
10. Let cure.
11. Apply second topcoat of Dur-A-Glaze #4 at 200-250 sq. ft. per gallon, or any Dur-A-Flex high performance topcoat such as Poly-Thane #2, Dur-A-Thane or Dur-A-Glaze #2 at 200-300 sq. ft. per gallon.
NOTE: One top coat is generally sufficient where a high degree of non-skid is required (Standard). Example: shower rooms, meat cutting rooms, oily plant floors, etc. An additional top coat is often required for areas such as locker rooms, classrooms, showrooms, laboratories, etc. (Orange Peel). An additional topcoat is often used to yield a higher degree of sheen and cleanability (Smooth).
