H&C®
Resurface Systems are high quality polymer modified portland and calcium aluminate cementitious systems designed to add texture to new or existing concrete flatwork. Each system creates an attractive and durable decorative finish that enhances all interior or exterior hardscapes.

You'll need: Surface Preparation-H&C® De-Greaser, a stiff broom, and a garden hose with a pressure washer nozzle. Mixing 1/2" variable speed power drill, clean empty 5 gallon bucket and a water source. Application-Hopper Gun, air compressor, spiked shoes and a rounded edge steel trowel.
Surface Preparation
Resurfacer can be applied on clean, porous, sound concrete or masonry surfaces. Repair all cracks and remove all unsound concrete, grease, oil, paint, dirt and any other foreign materials that will inhibit performance. A combination of acid wash, de-greasing, high-pressure water blast, sand blast, shot blast, etc. may be required. It is recommended that a test patch be performed whereby the product is applied to the substrate and examined for several days to confirm adequate surface preparation and a good bond. When using acid completely neutralize before applying H&C® Resurfacer.
Mixing Equipment
A 1/2" (13mm) drill and a mixing paddle with a 5-gallon pail are sufficient. The 1/2" drill must be a slow or variable speed drill to control the shear and mixing speed.
Mixing:
Use a mechanical mixer to combine approximately 5 quarts (4.75L) of water per 50 lb. bag (22.7 kg.). Use only clean tools and water. Gradually stir powder mixture into clean water until a thick workable mixture is obtained. Mix for approximately 3 minutes. Use immediately. Pot life is approximately 20 minutes. Do not add more than 6 quarts (5.67 liters) of water per 50 lb. bag (22.7 kg) of dry mix.
- IMPORTANT: Before application, saturate the surface to be coated with water Saturate Surface Dry (SSD). Very porous concrete surfaces will require several applications of water to insure complete saturation. Ensure surface dry and no puddles prior to application.
Use a hopper gun and air compressor unit or similar equipment to apply the material. Vary the size of the orifice and air pressure to achieve the desired pattern. Standard air pressure will be between 15 and 35 p.s.i. FOR A KNOCKDOWN FINISH - When the splatters begin to look dull (as the moisture leaves), use a trowel to wipe down the high spots. Always test an area to confirm that is is the appropriate time and condition for troweling the texture. The pressure exerted on the trowel will determine the coarseness of the finish. Periodically clean bottom of trowel with a damp cloth.
-If the application must be interrupted, finish at a natural break. Maintain all existing expansion and control joints.
-On excessively hot days, it is suggested to use the material only if protected from the direct heat of the sun.
-Extreme temperatures interfere with the curing of the material.
-DO NOT apply product when air, mixture or substrate temperature is below 50°F (10 C) or above 100°F (38 C).
Coverage Rates:
One 50 lb. (22.7 kg) bag will cover up to 150 sq. ft. (13.9 sq m2) in a splatter or knockdown finish. Coverage depends upon texture finish desired.
Disposal:
Comply with all applicable local, state and federal rules and regulations for powder, mixed and cured product, the packaging and mixing containers.
Top Coating:
Texture will require a minimum of 4hrs. before topcoating. If temperatures are below 70F (21C) the textured surface will require a minimum of 24 hours drying before application of any topcoat. A sufficiently dried texture system will not leave a thumbnail impression in the surface. Completely brush with stiff broom to knock off burs, sweep clean and then apply an appropriate H&C® concrete stain, sealer or paint. Follow manufacturer's application instructions.
