Prepare the wooden support by sanding and dusting it if necessary. Fix your feet solidly using screws or glue. Then apply the hanging underlay to the entire surface of the support with the roller. Let dry for 24 hours for perfect grip. Now mix the waxed concrete powder with water and powdered resin depending on the proportions indicated on the packaging. You will get a homogeneous paste that you can personalize with the color of your choice. Apply the first layer of waxed concrete to the support using a spatula or a taloche. Make cross gestures to create shades and a unique texture. Leave to dry for 12 hours for an impeccable finish. Then delicately sand the first layer of waxed concrete with an electric sander or fine sandpaper. Do not forget to dust the surface with a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth for a smooth base. Now apply the second layer of waxed concrete by following the same process as for the first layer. Carefully smooth the coating with the spatula or the Taloche. Leave to dry for 12 hours to obtain a durable and attractive surface. Finally, apply the protective varnish to the entire surface using a roller or a paint gun. Make two crossed layers, letting dry 24 hours between each layer for optimal protection. Here, your waxed concrete support is ready to be admired and used in your space!
