Microcement Hairline Cracks After Curing — San Francisco, California
Fine spider-web cracks — called crazing — appear on your microcement surface within a few weeks of application, often most visible in raking light or near edges and drains. The cause is usually too-rapid drying, an insufficiently primed substrate, or too-thin sealer coats that can't absorb micro-movement. A painter experienced in microcement can assess whether a skim-coat repair and fresh sealer will solve the issue or if the affected area needs to be stripped back and reapplied with proper curing controls.
