Synotex Fiber Cement

Step 1 Surface preparation: - For new fiber cement, clean the surface so it is free of grease, dust, oil and foreign matter and make sure it is completely dry. Remember that the moisture content during application should not exceed 14%. - For old fiber cement, sand and strip off all deteriorated old paint first. Good surface preparation with no dusty or loose areas gives the best adhesion. Tips - If the surface has mould or moss, clean it off completely first by brushing or rolling on 1 generous coat of Beger MouldFree M-001 mould and moss remover, without rinsing, and let it dry for 3 hours. - If the surface has hairline cracks, nail holes or board joints, fill them with Beger Acrylic Filler F-200 and leave for 1 hour, then sand and clean the surface and let it dry completely for about 12 hours. Choose a filler shade close to the topcoat color you plan to use. - For repairs or extensions, cut the fiber cement boards before applying the primer

Step 2 Primer: - Apply 1 coat of Synotex Fiber Cement F-6100 clear primer on the fiber cement and let it dry for 2-4 hours. Tip: - Priming before the topcoat helps prevent water from seeping into the fiber cement surface and improves adhesion between the surface and the topcoat, giving the topcoat a color closer to natural wood

Step 3 Topcoat: - Apply 2 coats of Synotex semi-transparent fiber cement wood floor paint, letting each coat dry for 4-6 hours. For extra protection of the floor, you can apply a clear coat (gloss TG-7000 / matte TM-7000)
