CONCRETE RESURRECTION Liquid Nebula
**This product may only be used on fully cured concrete. Allow a minimum of 28-45 days of cure time (or until
a pH reading of 10.5 or less is achieved) after the concrete is poured to allow ample time for the concrete to
completely hydrate. It is recommended that a calcium chloride (or similar) moisture test be completed on any
floor prior to Inside Epoxy application.
Product
Made of millions of suspended reflective pigments, Liquid Nebula powder mixes into epoxy to give
both residential and commercial spaces the high-end, ultra-modern look so popular today. Use a single color for
elegance, or blend colors for a breathtaking effect.
Liquid Nebula offers infinite design possibilities based on color choice and application techniques. The result is
a durable, glossy surface with the breathtaking depth of color found only in the cosmos.
Coverage (varies based on concrete surface porosity and amount of material applied)
¾ Gallon Kit: 100-200 sq ft for Base Coat
50-75 sq ft for Metallic Coating
3 Gallon Kit: 400-800 sq ft for Base Coat
200-300 sq ft for Metallic Coating
Surface Preparation
A fine to medium shot blasting or the use of a diamond grinding machine to obtain a surface profile of a CSP -
3 to a CSP - 5 is suggested for ultimate adhesion.
A test should be made to determine that the concrete is dry; this can be done by placing a 48” x 48” plastic
sheet on the substrate and taping down the edges. If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic
sheet, then the substrate should be ready to coat. More advanced moisture testing kits should be used on floors
with suspected moisture problems.
Apply coating to a clean surface that is completely dry and free of oil, dirt, grime, wax, detergent or any
incompatible paint or coating.
Concrete must be completely dry prior to sealer application. It is strongly recommended that a surface probe
moisture meter be utilized to verify the surface is dry. After visually determining the concrete is dry, test a
minimum of 10 different areas of the concrete with the moisture meter. Pay special attention to cracks, control
joints, and slab edges.
Base Coat
While not required, a black or dark primer coat is the most popular choice since it enhances the reflectivity of
Liquid Nebula Metallic pigments. (See application recommendations for application instructions)
Mixing Instructions
Base Coat: When mixing a base coat or Liquid Nebula Metallic pigments epoxy add the appropriate amount of
pigment into the resin (part “A”) and mix completely using a paint mixer on a low speed drill. When desired
color is achieved follow the directions above for adding and mixing in the hardener (part ”B”). It is critical to
have an exactly portioned mixture, which has been prepackaged for you to eliminate any guesswork or
measuring. After combining the two components use a paint mixer on a low speed drill for 2 minutes to
completely mix the components. Be careful to not whip air into the mixture, and be certain to scrape the sides
and bottom of the can to combine all molecules. Incomplete mixing or an off balance mixture will result in a
coating that will remain soft.
Liquid Nebula Metallic Coat: When possible, blend the Liquid Nebula Metallic pigment into the part A
component of CR-531 Inside Epoxy 24 hours prior to job start. This soaking time will allow the full wetting of
the pigments with the Part A resin, thus minimizing the appearance of clumped pigment and “comet tail” effects
during epoxy movement. If unable to do that, when mixing the Liquid Nebula Metallic pigments shake the
container of Liquid Nebula Metallic Pigment and empty the entire container into the resin (part “A”) 3 gallon
kit of Concrete Resurrection Inside Epoxy. Be sure to get all of the pigment into the liquid and not onto the
sides of the container. Once mixed completely add the hardener (part “B”). It is critical to have an exactly
portioned mixture, which has been prepackaged for you to eliminate any guesswork or measuring. After
combining the two components use a paint mixer on a low speed drill for 2 minutes to completely mix the
components. Be careful to not whip air into the mixture, and be certain to scrape the sides and bottom of the
can to combine all molecules. Incomplete mixing or an off balance mixture will result in a coating that will
remain soft.
Multiple colors can be applied for additional effects – be sure to not overwork or you will not see the two
distinct colors.
***WARNING*** Use only Concrete Resurrection epoxy pigments.
Application Recommendations
BASE COAT: The base coat for Liquid Nebula can be applied at a rate of 3 to 8 mils thick, using a roller,
squeegee or trowel within the usable pot life time frame, as well as the recommended temperature and relative
humidity guidelines listed in the Technical Information section. If concrete conditions or aggressive mixing
causes air entrapment, then an air release roller tool should be used prior to the coating tacking off to remove
the air entrapped in the coating. If the material becomes thick while applying and sticking to the application
tools , stop applying and discard the mixed material. At this point it has reached the end of the usable pot life.
While applying keep a wet edge to prevent streaking. It is recommended to work in sections usually using
control joints as dividers to ensure proper application results. Do not allow to Puddle!
LIQUID NEBULA METALLIC: . Spiked shoes are recommended throughout application. Pour contents out
in a long trail for application. Liquid Nebula Metallic Epoxy can be spread with Notched squeegee or gauge
(wider squeegee is recommended), Spread product evenly over area. Flatten the poured out trail into place, as it
self-levels.
Back roll with a 3/8” roller or mohair roller or smooth using a Magic Trowel, speed squeegee or
loop roller. (rollers should be premium quality with phenolic core and 18” wide is recommended for larger
areas)
Thinning -- Do not thin.
Finish Coat and Additional coats
Previously coated surfaces must be mechanically cleaned and abraded using a floor machine (buffer) with 80
mesh sanding screen prior to application to ensure adequate inner coat adhesion. Follow abrading with
vacuuming and wipe down with a micro-fiber cloth with denatured alcohol or acetone. For superior protection,
you may choose to apply a top coat of Concrete Resurrection Polyaspartic.
Please Note: Applying CR-531 Inside Acrylic outside of the suggested parameters may result in job failure. It
is always recommended to test the product in a small, inconspicuous area (on the same concrete substrate) for
desired results prior to application. Coverage rates may vary for all coatings and substrates depending on
porosity, density, texture etc.
Clean Up
Discard used consumable items such as roller pans, roller covers, brushes, etc.

Do not allow to freeze. Shelf life of unopened product is approximately one year.

Limitations
Air and substrate temperatures must be minimum 50°F
Do not apply when air or surface temperature exceeds 90 degrees (F) or LAP marking / poor penetration /
bubbling may result. Do not apply to wet or damp concrete, moisture will inhibit penetration of the sealer and
cause improper curing, flaking or lifting of the sealer. Do not apply if dew may condense on the surface before
the sealer has cured. Allow for extended curing times during cold weather / high humidity.
Moisture Vapor Emissions/Alkalinity Precautions
All interior concrete floors not poured over an effective moisture vapor barrier/inhibitor are subject to possible
moisture vapor transmission and related high levels of alkalinity that may lead to blistering and failure of the
coating system. It is the coating applicator’s responsibility to conduct calcium chloride and relative humidity
probe testing to determine if excessive levels of vapor emissions or alkalinity are present before applying any
coatings.

pedestrian surfaces. The current coefficient of friction required by ADA is .6 on level surfaces and .8 on ramps.
Engrave-A-Crete, inc. recommends the use of angular slip-resistant aggregate in all coatings or flooring systems
that may be exposed to wet, oily or greasy conditions. It is the contractor and end users’ responsibility to
provide a flooring system that meets current safety standards. Engrave-A-Crete, Inc. or its sales agents will not
be responsible for injury incurred in a slip and fall accident.
