Dulux Avista Natural Stone Look Flake to be applied into second coat of Dulux Avista Waterbased Epoxy, while wet. Refer to waterbased epoxy TDS for mixing & application instructions.
Applying Natural Stone Look Flakes
Remove flakes from box and place in a suitable clean, dry bucket.
Dulux Avista Waterbased Epoxy must have adequate film build for flake to adhere to (quality 22mm nap roller recommended). Do not allow to dry prior to applying flake. It is suggested to complete this step in manageable sections, by rolling approximately 5-10m² of waterbased epoxy and applying flake whilst area is still wet.
Immediately after applying Dulux Avista Waterbased Epoxy coating and while coating is still wet, walk out on the job wearing spiked shoes and evenly sprinkle the dry flake over the surface.
Evenly sprinkle the flakes from an open flat palm with fingers spread. Move hand back and forth allowing the flakes to fall evenly while the surface is still tacky. Ensure a full and even coverage.
Note: 2 person application (one cutting & rolling, one flaking) recommended for best results.
Allow Dulux Avista Waterbased Epoxy to cure (approximately 4-6 hours depending on conditions).
Broom and discard excess flake. Lightly sand surface with 80-100 grit sandpaper/sanding pole. Vacuum thoroughly.
Surface must be sealed with one of the following products: Refer to relevant TDS for application details.
- Dulux Avista Polyurethane Sealer
- Dulux Avista 2 Pack Urethane Sealer
- Dulux Avista Polyaspartic Sealer
Note: Additional sanding can be completed between coats of urethane or polyurethane for a smoother finish. If a higher slip resistance is required, sanding may not be necessary.
