The surface on which the microcement is to be applied must be completely smooth, clean and free of imperfections. If the surface is not in perfect condition, the microcement will not adhere properly and its appearance and durability will be affected.

Once the surface is prepared, a layer of adhesive cement is applied, which is left to dry for a few hours. Then, the first layer of microcement is applied, which is left to dry for 24 hours. Several more layers of this coating are applied, allowing each one to dry for 24 hours, until the desired height is reached.

Once the microcement is completely dry, it is sprayed with water and left to dry for a few hours. Then, a waterproofing sealant is applied, which will protect the coating from water damage.
