DIY Basecoat

DIY Texture microcement transforms your concrete with the texture and appearance of wood.  With the use of premixed dry polymers this is a simple just add water formula.  DIY texture is applied at a thickness of 1/8 inch to create the slip resistant texture of wood.

One box of DIY Basecoat will cover approximately 150-200 sf per coat.

This material is used for the basecoat and can also be used as the texture coat if a coarser texture is desired. This material can also be mixed with DIY texture.

To Mix simply add 3Qt cool water to a 5 gallon bucket, add 1/2 box DIY Texture and mix. Add remaining 1/2 box of DIY Texture and mix. Wait 5 minutes to allow particles to hydrate then give it a quick mix and add small amounts of water as needed until a pancake batter consistency is achieved.  Please see instructional video on mixing. Maximum of 4 quarts of cool water per box recommended.
