Surecrete Xtreme Series Concrete Countertop Slurry Compound
About
XS Slurry makes for an elegantly simple solution to a very typical problem in precast concrete pieces. Voids and pinholes can be very difficult to fill without having discoloration or concrete shrinkage issues. The incredibly small aggregate used to formulate the XS Slurry counter top mix product allows it to be used to easily fill voids that other mixes are simply unable to fill efficiently.
Given that it can be applied by simply hand packing with gloves, XS Slurry can be applied by both professional fabricator crews and homeowners doing DIY projects.

Precast pieces should be cleaned with SCR 3:1 with water (3 parts water to 1 part SCR) see SCR TDS. Surface should be sound (i.e. no crumbling or flaking).
Temperature/Cure
XS Precast Slurry has no special curing properties. It matches the properties required by its host precast surface and application should be inside a shop. See XS Precast and XS Face TDS.
