Your weekend, step by step
Two coats, no flakes, no topcoat. Pick a day to see what happens.
Prep the floor
Clean it properly so there's no grease or oil, fill small cracks with an epoxy crack filler and vacuum up all the dust. If your concrete is smooth, level and sound, you don't need to grind.
Prime it
Brush Floor Primer along the edges first, then roll one coat over the rest of the floor. That's coat 1 done.
Mix, pour and trowel
Stir Part A, mix in all of Part B with a drill on low speed, then pour and trowel it out at least 1.5 mm thick. Spike-roll it in spiked shoes. Always wear gloves. First time? Practise on a spare surface first.
Walk on it
Foot traffic is fine after 12 hours. Keep heavy loads and impacts off it for the first 5 days.
Park on it
Cars can go back in after 5–7 days. No topcoat needed: your floor is finished, and you did it yourself.
Times at 25 °C with good ventilation. Cooler, humid or poorly ventilated conditions take longer.
Coat 1 of the two-coat Cony Floor System. Cony Floor Primer is a water-based acrylic primer that seals concrete and cement floors and prepares them for coat 2, Hybrid Epoxy Sand Coating. It bonds to concrete for a stronger coating system and seals porous surfaces before the epoxy goes down. That's the whole system: two coats, with no flakes and no topcoat.

Colour: light grey-white.
What's in the tub
3 kg of water-based acrylic primer, single pack and ready to use. Stir well before use — no mixing or thinning.
How to apply
- Grinding is optional: Hybrid Epoxy Sand Coating is made to adhere to the primer and harden, so as long as the concrete is smooth, level and clear of dust and debris, you don't need to grind. Vacuum up all the dust. Concrete slabs move over time, so check yours is stable and sound.
- Make sure the surface is clean and dry, with no grease, oil or anything else that could stop the coating bonding. Fill small cracks with an epoxy crack filler.
- Stir well. Brush the primer along the edges first, then roll one even coat over the rest of the floor.
- Apply at 10 °C or above and 85% relative humidity or below.
- Apply Hybrid Epoxy Sand Coating 12–72 hours after touch dry. After 72 hours, sand lightly and remove the dust first.
Always wear gloves. The better the preparation, the better the adhesion. Read the full application guide
Coverage and drying
- Up to 20 m² per 3 kg tub in one coat (about 8 m² per litre; porous concrete uses more)
- Touch dry in about 2 hours at 25 °C
- Apply the sand coating 12–72 hours after touch dry

Step by step
How it works
Two coats, no topcoat. Note: the amount of preparation you do determines how well the coating adheres. The coating can only be as strong as the floor underneath it.
-
Step 1: Prep & vacuum
Grinding is optional: our coating is made to adhere to the primer and harden, so as long as your concrete is smooth and level, you don't need to grind. Vacuum up all the dust and debris. Slabs move over time, so check yours is stable and sound.
-
Step 2: Check & repair
Clean it properly: no grease, oil or anything else that could stop the coating bonding. Fill small cracks with an epoxy crack filler. Dry, with no rising moisture.
-
Step 3: Coat 1: prime
Brush Cony Floor Primer along the edges first, then roll one coat over the rest of the concrete. Touch dry in about 2 hours at 25 °C.
-
Step 4: Mix thoroughly
12–72 h after the primer is touch dry, stir Part A, then add all of Part B. Mix thoroughly with an electric drill mixer on low speed: under-mixed coating turns out lumpy. Always wear gloves.
-
Step 5: Coat 2: pour & trowel
Pour, then trowel it out evenly: at least 1.5 mm thick, up to 11 m² per bucket. Spike-roll it wearing spiked shoes. Trowelling is a must: it's what gets your floor level. First time? Start in an inconspicuous spot.
-
Step 6: Cure
Foot traffic after 12 h; vehicles after 5–7 days at 25 °C. No topcoat needed to finish.
FAQ
Good to know
Everything customers ask before they order, in plain English.
Tell us your floor size and what the surface is, and we'll tell you exactly what to order.
Ask us a question hello@conycoatings.com.auHow is it different from a flake epoxy floor?
A traditional flake floor is built up in layers: a coloured base coat, decorative flakes broadcast into it, the loose flakes scraped back once it cures, then a clear topcoat to seal them in. Cony Hybrid Sand Coatings is a simple two-coat system: one coat of Floor Primer, then one trowelled coat of Hybrid Epoxy Sand Coating with the colour and texture built in. No flakes, nothing to scrape back and no topcoat, and you get a finer, more uniform decorative finish.
Do I need a topcoat?
Not to finish your floor, and that's one of the big differences from a flake floor. Once fully cured, Hybrid Epoxy Sand Coating forms a tough, durable film on its own, so the job is done in two coats. As part of maintenance, we recommend an optional compatible polyurethane topcoat, re-applied every 12 months, to keep your floor in its best condition.
Do I need to grind my concrete?
No, grinding is optional. Our coating formula is made to adhere to the primer and harden, so as long as your concrete is smooth and level, and clear of any dust and debris, you don't need to grind it. Concrete slabs move over time, so make sure yours is stable and sound, then vacuum up all the dust. Clean the floor properly: it must be dry and free of grease, oil and anything else that could stop the coating bonding. Fill small cracks with an epoxy crack filler made for concrete, within the filler's maximum crack width. Wide cracks, or cracks that are still moving? Email us a photo before you coat. Old paint, sealers and existing coatings must come off first. The amount of preparation you do determines how well the coating adheres: the coating can only be as strong as the floor underneath it.
Do I need to prime first?
On concrete and cement floors, yes: one coat of Cony Floor Primer, then apply the coating 12–72 hours after the primer is touch dry. Sound glazed tiles can be coated directly.
How much do I need?
One 15 kg bucket covers up to 11 m² at the minimum thickness of 1.5 mm. Don't go thinner: coats under 1.5 mm risk cracking. Work out your buckets as floor area ÷ 11, rounded up: 2 buckets and 1 primer for an 18 m² single garage, 4 buckets and 2 primers for a 36 m² double. For first-timers, or if this is your first project, we recommend 3 buckets for a single garage. One 3 kg tub of Floor Primer covers up to 20 m². Porous, rough or uneven floors use more, so buy all buckets for one floor together.
How soon can I walk or park on it?
At 25 °C with good ventilation: foot traffic after 12 hours, vehicles after 5–7 days. Avoid heavy loads and impact for the first 5 days. Cooler, humid or poorly ventilated conditions extend curing.
