Hi there, this is super helpful! I wondered if it could also be applied to existing kitchen countertops that are made of laminate and have rounded edges?
And also while I'm at it, my I ask if this goes over metal? Ideally I'd like to also coat my old sink, which is made of non-smooth metal (a sort of grainy surface), so my thinking is that it would have enough grip to let the microcement adhere onto, but I'm also afraid it might turn bad with all the nooks and crannies... etc. Thanks!
also, can you show this black microcement example next to some grey or whatever color carpet. You usually see microcement floors that are all cement, but I wonder what this looks like next to other flooring options. I was thinking black microcement next to some grey carpet and no one shows this.
@@ConcreteLab I was interested in seeing what that finished black micro cement overlay look like but the second part of the video isn't in your library and then if you could set it next to some carpet that would be interesting
If this was exterior application (= exposure to elements, harsh tropical climate in Florida), would you use a mesh underneath? What brand of micro was used here? Can this micro be applied on top of low grade granite top?
Hi Mirek. Possibly. It depends on the substrate. The brand of microcement is our own which we manufacture in house. It can be applied over granite provided the granite is prepared correctly so that it has enough of a key. Hope that helps!
I'm afraid there isn't one with this video. However if you have a look at our canteen video series, there's plenty of sanding in those ones! th-cam.com/video/onhoQxqOFxU/w-d-xo.html
Please can you tell me can you use this to coat EPF ? If so would it need to be sealed first and what with? Lastly could you use a fibreglass scrim for added strength? Thanks for your help
Could this be an easier way to diy very large kitchen worktops? I have two worktops in my kitchen, and I’ve considered casting in place, but it looks a lot easier to do this so we dont have to move a massive concrete slab with 5 people and pray it fits.
The edges can be done just as easily. The microcement can be built up and smoothed with the trowel. Once its gone off the microcement is bomb-proof and can be sanded. No beads required.
@@ConcreteLab what i wanted to say is - apply thinner layers by adding more water into the mix, which will also make the surface more even without any need to sand it afterwards. Just my 5 cents :-)
Using this material directly on a wood substrate; isn't there a danger of the wood swelling and contracting from humidity?
How do you make microcement? What's in it?

Yes it can indeed!
Given the temperature changes in the sink and the expansion rates of metal it would eventually debond so I wouldn’t recommend it.
@@ConcreteLab Thank you so much for both answers!
Hello, I'm here for the exact same reason regards countertop and sink!
Hello! Can you please provide us ibformation on how to prepare Granite,Wood and other surfaces possibke before applying this Microcement? Ty
Hi yes of course. It will need to be clean, free of oil and grease and then primed using our primer
also, can you show this black microcement example next to some grey or whatever color carpet. You usually see microcement floors that are all cement, but I wonder what this looks like next to other flooring options. I was thinking black microcement next to some grey carpet and no one shows this.
Not sure what you mean? You want us to do a video of the microcement next to some carpet??

@@zh4k ok. I'll find a piece of carpet and send you a photo

where is the sanding video?

Can micro-cement be added to dry-wall also ?(in Canada all walls are dry-walls)thanks
Hi Nima, yes it can. You will need to prep the walls properly first but thats not a big job.
tell me the door suffering pressure is not this cement.which blessing material do you use for this cool art
microcement my friend.
Thanks men,
This wood will become water proof after applying microcement?
Once sealed and waxed yes.
using cement on wood dosnt makes cracks?
Depends
@@erenbas80On what please ?
On how it is prepared and what its final use is and whether it is indoors or outdoors
Nope. Most micro cements are 80 mpa. I'd recommend priming the surface and using a mesh if you want something extremely strong.
Do you know where can i buy microcement for patina in losanjeles
Sorry I have no idea.
Please can you tell me can you use this to coat EPF ? If so would it need to be sealed first and what with? Lastly could you use a fibreglass scrim for added strength? Thanks for your help
Hi Melvin. Sorry - what is EPF?
@@ConcreteLab it is expanded polystyrene foam thanks
What’s the substrate
Hey Keith. It’s actually a door which we have in our canteen!
@@ConcreteLab and ya made a table out of it great job
Lol no. We put it back up in the canteen. But a standard hardwood flat panel door is a great substrate for a tabletop!
What micro do ya use have ya heard of monto a Spanish product
Ours!

Hi there. Yes it is. Microcement is a very simple process.
If you cast in place you wouldn't have to move anything lol
Very true!
Can micro cement be used over a properly prepped tile floor? Thank you.
Hi Jason. Yes it can.
What about the edges?
The edges can be done just as easily. The microcement can be built up and smoothed with the trowel. Once its gone off the microcement is bomb-proof and can be sanded. No beads required.
Any chance you could show a vid of doing the edges?
Looks like black course marmarino
Fair play to you bruv for answering every single one of these questions, even the moronic ones 😂
😂
What a waste of material, put more water into it
Thanks for your comment. I'm not exactly sure what you mean but thanks!
