How to correctly apply your 4 m² microcement kit for countertops with grout lines
Small bathroom, big change. With this microcement kit, you can finally say goodbye to grout lines and give your countertop a seamless, modern, and easy-to-maintain look. No previous experience required: just follow the steps and enjoy watching your bathroom countertop transform with your own hands using Smartcret microcement.
1. Goodbye grout lines
Thoroughly clean your countertop (no dust, grease, or soap residue). Apply Smart Jointer to each grout line and let it dry for 24 h. Lightly sand with 40-grit paper and your base will be ready for a fresh start.
2. The primer that gets everything ready
With the orange roller, apply one coat of Smart Primer PLUS. This ensures perfect adhesion on tile, porcelain stoneware, or marble. Waiting time: 30 minutes.
3. Solid base for a real change
Apply two very thin coats of Smart Base (<1 mm). Spread with the Smart Roller and smooth with the polycarbonate, anti-burn trowel at a 45° angle. Between coats: 6 h drying time and light sanding with 40-grit. Starting to enjoy the process, right?
4. Smooth and stylish finish
Now it’s time to apply two coats of Smart Liso (<0.5 mm). Allow 6 h drying time and sand with 220-grit paper between coats. The result: a continuous surface, soft to the touch and stylish.
5. Protect your new microcement countertop
Mix Smart Varnish + Smart Booster, let it rest for 5–15 min, and apply 3 coats. Between the first and second coats, sand with 400-grit and wait 4 h between applications. After 7 days of curing, your countertop will be ready to withstand the daily humidity of your bathroom.
💡 Smartcret tips:
- Thin layers = flawless finish.
- Always keep the trowel at 45°.
- Be patient with drying times: it’s the secret to success.
- Let the varnish cure for 7 days before intensive use.
- Avoid electric sanders: too much pressure will burn the microcement.
