Pretreatment
Cleaning
Primer
Adhesive
Notice
Concrete with different grain sizesCast with dry molds: remove concrete laitance;
Cast with oil molds: oil-soaked layer must be removed; 
Blow off grinding dust with oil and water-free compressed air;
Degreasing with solvent is not recommended
 - X60Concrete requires a strong pore-filling adhesive
