Recipe: Decorative Concrete Broom Finish

Broom finish by Super-KreteRecipe by Super-Krete — El Cajon, Calif.

Broom finishes provide an economical alternative to the removal and replacement of existing concrete. This system creates a flexible and durable finish that can be used to re-level, renovate, resurface and create decorative patterns and designs, with or without integral coloring. When sealed, the new finish will resist gas, oils, water, salts, freeze-thaw cycles and ultraviolet rays.

Ingredients:
S-12000 Heavy Duty Degreaser
S-1300 Pene-Krete
S-9300/S-9302 Bond-Kote: Gray or White
Super-Krete sealer of choice

Directions:
Surface to be coated should be kept damp with clean water at all times during application of material. Dampen the surface, not allowing water to puddle.

Prepare a Bond-Kote mixture by adding the desired amount of water to one bag to achieve a flowable, pourable mixture. Mix material well with a jiffy mixer. The actual amount of water needed will vary depending on outside factors such as weather conditions.

Fill spalls and holes with a dry-slump Bond-Kote mixture, feathering the edges with a trowel and water. Allow the patches to dry. Then, mist the entire surface with water, not allowing it to puddle. Pour the Bond-Kote mixture onto the surface. Apply Bond-Kote at an approximate rate of 300 square feet per bag with a squeegee. Two applications are required.
