Q: How does the overlay system work? Can you give more details?

A: Our overlay system is specially formulated high strength polymer modified mix for overlayments with excellent adhesion and high compression strength for durability.

The formulas are specially designed to be used in any climate, whether hot or cold. Not only are our products attractive and easily maintained, but they are time-tested for the ultimate resilience.

After getting a look at what is possible with our dynamic products we think you will agree with us. Our products ARE the future of decking and patios and walkways and driveways and more. The possibilities are truly endless.

Some more acrylic overlay facts:

Our acrylic Flagstone overlay is 2 to 3 times stronger than concrete.
High strength polymer-modified Base mix is used to skim coat over existing concrete, decks, driveways, and walkways.
Base mix has self-leveling quality that limits trowel marks on the surface.
Liquid coloring can be added to achieve virtually any desired color.
Stonestrength Resin is specifically formulated for the long pot life, rapid cure time, and extreme durability required for decorative concrete surfacing.
Crystal clear, non-yellowing, premium quality Thermoplastic Sealer is used to seal cured concrete surfaces.
UV-Resistant Sealer is perfect for weather conditions, exposed aggregate, or other surfaces where penetration and wear resistance is important.

Q: How long do I have to wait before I can use the resurfaced item?

A: Your bathtub can be used 48 hours after the finish was applied. However the surface will not be completely cured for 30 days.

Q: What kind of maintenance does the resurfacing require?

Do not leave any bottles or bars of soap on the ledges. Always avoid trapping water against the surface for long periods of time. The moisture gets trapped underneath and eats away the glaze. Use some of those attractive holders made especially to hang in your tub or shower. Do not leave bathmats, wet towels, or rugs hanging over the side of the tub.

Cleaning Instructions

To keep your porcelain or fiberglass surfaces looking in top condition, start by throwing away all your abrasive cleaners. They are the biggest offenders in bath maintenance. Two or three times a week, clean the surface with liquid cleaners such as 409, Dow Foam bathroom bathroom cleaner, Fantastic, Lysol Tub and Tile cleaner, or other nonabrasive cleaner. For stubborn scum buildup, use a plastic scrub brush or nylon net scrubbers.
You may want to use a light abrasive nylon pad rather than a washcloth. We have found that an inexpensive shampoo works great because it helps cut the body oil better. Even if the tub does not look dirty, it should be cleaned regularly to remove greasy soap film.

Bathmats

If you find your new finish slippery, use a non-suction type bathmat. The suction type mat will harm your new surface. You cannot leave any bathmat on the tub for an extended period of time. If you use a bathmat, please take it out of the tub when you have finished bathing. Do not set the bathmat over the side of the bathtub. See Classic Tubs for other anti-slip products.

Leaking Faucets

Dripping water will wear through the hardest of surfaces. Make sure that your plumbing problems are fixed immediately. Constant dripping can wear down the surface and leave mineral deposits that cause damage to the surface.
