Application Techniques

Glow Sand Installation Guide

STEP 1

Preparation

Glow sand can be applied in a variety of ways from hand-broadcasting over fresh/wet surfaces like concrete or surface sealers and epoxies to mixed integrally in a batch of either. Before application, decide which technique you will be utilizing.

STEP 2

The Hand Broadcasting Technique

Consider using a Powdered Sugar Dispenser or a Restaurant-Style Salt Shaker to dispense the AGT™ glow sand evenly on top the surface. For concrete applications, hand-trowel the sand after dispensing it. These tools allow for a consistent spread over the surface, ensuring an even glow. For sealers, epoxy surfaces or concrete, apply while the coat is still wet.

STEP 3

The Mixing Technique

Another application method is mixing AGT™ right into the material mix. In GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) and stucco applications where a compressed air hopper gun is used to apply a Face or Mist Coat, AGT™ Fine or Course glow sand is mixed right into the batch. When sprayed over the surface evenly, the glow sand creates a beautiful, uniformly glowing surface.

STEP 4

Seal the Surface

Once the first coat of sealer or epoxy is dry, apply a second protective coating. For concrete surfaces, apply a concrete retarder and let the concrete cure. Follow retarder product directions for optimal results.
