EDGEMORE™ Primo
EDGEMORE™ Primo – Concrete Micro Topping for Acid/Dye-Staining
Decorative concrete overlay EDGEMORE™ Primo has a micro-topping for acid or dye staining. This concrete floor supply is intended to be used in two micro-topping applications to simulate marble or tile. Choose an acid-stained concrete floor, and you may anticipate an etched surface in a variety of earthy tones. To replicate the appearance of polished wood, natural stone, tanned leather, etc., add a stamped design. Concrete dyes are the best bet if you want bright, distinctive colors with layered and varied effects.

Where to Use EDGEMORE™ Primo
Instructions
1. Apply the Bond Coat
Installing the bond coat is the initial task for yourEDGEMORE™ Primo floor. The bond coat should be placed in the specified grout color if you wish to incorporate grout as part of the design.
The ratio of bond coat differs across manufacturers. Bond coatings are typically applied at a ratio of 250–300 square feet per bag.
In your mixing container, start with the appropriate amount of water, add and blend in the selected colorant, and then blend in the overlay.
Bond coatings should be used on damp flooring because that is how they are intended to be applied. For optimal results, we always recommend using two bond coatings.
2. Install Micro-Toppings
Applying micro-topping mixtures on a dry floor is advised. Maintain a spread ratio of 300 to 400 square feet per bag for micro toppings. The colorant and water should first be combined, and then the micro topping should be added.
To prevent the finished product from thickening up too quickly, divide the mixture into two five-gallon buckets. When putting a micro-topping, the optimum application method is to utilize a steel trowel.
By applying the mixture in a quantity roughly equivalent to a basketball and spreading it out into the floor with a trowel, you may get rid of the rainbow appearance that a typical concrete floor supply creates. The product can also be distributed randomly throughout the floor. With a micro-topping finish, damp lines are not a concern.
For the appearance of marble or tile, two applications of micro-topping are required. When the first coat is fully dry, apply the second coat.
3. Sand the EDGEMORE™ Primo Floor
To sand the edges and smooth down the high spots that the trowel left behind, use a palm sander with 80- to 100-grit sandpaper connected to a HEPA vacuum.
Using a 17-inch swing machine with black scrubbing pads and a 100/200 grit sanding screen, further smooth the high points (one screen each per 250 sq. ft.)
Clean away the dust, then re-sand the floor until it begins to take on a faint shine. Vacuum and sweep the floor.
4. Stain the Primo Series Floor
350–500 square feet can be stained with dye or acid stains in one gallon. Both acid and dye stains should be applied with two coats. Use the sprayer’s mister tip for the greatest results.
For Dye Stain:
Utilize an acetone sprayer with a suitable air port to create air using an air compressor.
Ask your representative whether buffing the dye stain residue from the floor is necessary before the sealer is applied.
For Acid Stain:
Use a sprayer for acid. Spray into the bucket after pumping up the sprayer. To check for drips in the sprayer, press and release the handle.
Before applying the second coat of acid stain, make sure the first coat is completely dry to prevent leaving footprints on the finished floor.
When the desired color is obtained, mop the floor with a soft-bristle broom while using an 8:1 water-to-ammonia ratio. After that, dry the floor completely before applying the sealer. Remove any remaining water from the floor with a wet vacuum.
5. Seal the Floor
We recommend only the following types of coatings for sealing the floor: water-based sealer, 100% solid epoxy, water-based epoxy, or water-based or solvent-based urethane. We do not recommend solved-based acrylics or polyaspartics for sealing.
