Here are the steps you need to request and complete over the weekend. The system is the same whether it's a 3,000-square-foot retail store or a 500-square-foot basement.

Step 1 – Friday night after work. Make sure the surface is clean. Use stripes of blue paint on the edges, pillars, and stairs. You may want to use plastic to protect your walls. Use the roll type with the artist's blue ribbon. Always apply from the bottom and work your way up. Then, spray (cheap garden spray) or pour the polymer onto the floor and wipe the surface. It takes about an hour for the 500 feet distance.

Step 2 – Saturday morning clean the floor again with polymer and let it dry. If the room temperature is comfortable and the stove is at room temperature, the drying time is less than one hour. Use this time to set up the mixing station. You will need a mixer drill and paddle (available from your home appliance store), two 5 gallon buckets, a 5 by 7 inch ground cover, knee pads, and a "magic shovel."

After the polymer dries, mix the first bucket of the mixture. Most of the overlay manufacturers pack the product in 200 square meters per bucket. The process is poured into a 5 gallon bucket an amount of polymer specified by the manufacturer, added paint, mixed with a drill and stirrer for a few seconds. Then add the concrete slowly and mix well without lumps.
