Yes, Mas Maya Coating can be used on kitchen Silestone surfaces. Its excellent adhesion properties make it suitable for a variety of surfaces, including Silestone. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply Mas Maya Coating to Silestone:

1. Surface Preparation:
• Clean the Silestone surface thoroughly to remove any grease, dirt, or residues. Use a degreasing cleaner if necessary.
• Ensure the surface is completely dry before starting the application.
• Use Mas Maya Base to repair any cracks or holes in the surface. The area should be flat before applying Mas Maya Coating.
• Lightly sand the Silestone surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 200 grain) to create a slightly rough texture, which will help with adhesion.
• Wipe away any dust generated from sanding.
2. Applying Bonding Resin:
• Apply a bonding resin to the Silestone surface to enhance the adhesion of Mas Maya Coating. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the bonding resin, ensuring it is allowed to dry to a tacky finish.
3. Mixing:
• Mix the Mas Maya powder with clean water, using a ratio of 1/3 liter of water per kilogram of powder.
• The powder and water can be mixed by hand or with a mechanical drill. Mix until a smooth, yogurt-like texture is achieved. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes before use.
4. Application:
• First Layer:
• Using a steel plaster trowel, apply a thin, even coat of approximately 2mm of Mas Maya across the entire Silestone surface. Hold the trowel at a shallow angle (about 15-30 degrees) for best results.
• Let the first layer dry until set but still slightly damp, which generally takes a few hours.
• Second Layer:
• Lightly spray the surface with water to prolong the working time.
• Apply the second layer in a similar manner to the first, using varied, slightly overlapping trowel strokes at different angles for a more organic finish.
• Let the second layer dry overnight.
5. Finishing:
• Burnishing/Polishing:
• Once the final coat is partially dry but still pliable, begin burnishing by pressing firmly with a clean steel trowel in short, overlapping strokes at varying angles to create a polished, marbled sheen. If more working time is needed, spray the surface lightly with water.
• Let the coat dry overnight.
• Sanding:
• Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 200 grain) until the desired smooth, polished finish is achieved.
• Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust.
6. Optional Sealing:
• For areas exposed to water, apply a sealer for added water resistance and durability, especially in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
