• Microtoppings are specialized overlay materials that are typically designed to be put down in very thin coats.
• If you need to build up an area, multiple coats of Microtopping will be needed to avoid cracking. 
• Microtoppings are very popular to make shower walls and floors with.  They can be applied over cement board, elastomeric membranes (Redguard- use Flexybo Primer to prep the membrane), and other sound surfaces.
• Microtoppings are great for refreshing (usually interior) surfaces that are very sound, but are old and discolored.
• For non-water/non-use areas, Microtopping can even be applied over drywall to give a wall the look and feel of concrete.
• A new layer of cement over old concrete allows easy staining and rejuvenation.
• Concrete rescue is designed for resurfacing a multitude of surfaces from scaling brush finish concrete to warehouse floors to distress concrete countertops.

Cement-based microtoppings and skim coats can be used both indoors and out to provide a clean canvas for decorative finishing with dyes or stains. They can also be custom colored by adding in the proper amount of integral color. Microtoppings are typically applied with rollers, trowels, or squeegees for various looks. They can be applied very thin or you can apply several coats. They can be broom- or trowel-finished. They usually do best with a proper sealer once cured for final protection.

Not all microtoppings are created equally, as with all products. Luckily, you have found Concrete Rescue microtopping resurfacer and decorative concrete topping. This durable and versatile mix may be your best friend in the future. Concrete Rescue has been used in hundreds of residential and commercial environments with success and ease of application. Concrete rescue is an all-in-one bag mix designed to provide you with a new concrete surface for interior or exterior use. Concrete Rescue thin concrete overlay can be brushed finished, troweled, stamped, knocked down, skip troweled, or textured with a roller. It can be sanded the next day to get rid of imperfections and give additional surface effect for staining.

Concrete Rescue is typically used to improve the look or restore an existing floor or other concrete surface such as a concrete countertop. Thin concrete overlay or “microtopping” can be used on old or new concrete surfaces. Concrete Rescue Microtopping will typically bond to existing, clean sound surfaces.  An increased bond strength can be obtained by using FlexyBo Bonder (sold here) first as a primer.  The new concrete canvas created with Concrete Rescue Microtopping can hide blemishes, minor cracks, tiny pitting and other displeasing aesthetics. While it may take a professional to trowel the thin concrete overlay perfectly smooth, an average DIYer could lay down, create a tile pattern, texture, and even color a microtopping. Integral color, Stains and dyes may be used to color Concrete rescue. Powder or liquid release if necessary for texturing or stamping may be used. Microtopping overlays must be sealed after completion to protect from abrasion. WBU or Ultrathane products are durable polyurethane topcoats for Concrete Rescue as well as Stampsheen 350 or Deco 2K for outdoor sealing needs.
