Resin-washed stone is a decorative material. The following are its common usage methods:
Construction preparation
• Material preparation: Prepare materials such as resin, water-washed stone, curing agent, and thinner, and ensure that the quality of the materials meets the requirements.
• Tool preparation: Prepare mixing tools, trowels, scrapers, brushes, molds and other construction tools.
• Base treatment: The base should be flat, solid, dry, free of oil stains, dust and other impurities. If there are any uneven areas, they need to be ground or repaired.
Mixing and stirring
According to the ratio requirements of resin and curing agent, pour both into the container and stir thoroughly with a stirring tool to ensure uniformity.
Then add an appropriate amount of washed stone to the resin mixture and continue to stir to ensure that the washed stone is evenly coated with resin. An appropriate amount of thinner can be added as needed to adjust the consistency of the mixture.
Laying construction
• Ground laying: Pour the well-mixed resin water-washed stone material onto the base layer, and spread it evenly with a scraper or trowel. Control the thickness according to the design requirements. If patterns or shapes need to be made, molds can be used for auxiliary construction.
• Wall bonding: For wall construction, you can first apply a thin layer of resin adhesive on the wall surface, then stick the resin-washed stone blocks one by one, and gently press them with a trowel to ensure a firm bond.
Surface treatment
After the construction is completed, apply a layer of transparent resin protective paint on the surface with a brush or spray gun to enhance the luster and wear resistance of the water-washed stone, and at the same time, it serves to prevent water and dust.
Curing and maintenance
After the construction is completed, let the resin-washed stone cure and solidify naturally. During the curing period, it is necessary to avoid being stepped on by pedestrians or vehicles, and keep the environmental temperature and humidity appropriate. Generally, the curing time is 24 to 48 hours, and the specific time depends on the performance of the resin and environmental conditions.
