Step-by-Step Inputs

1. Select color: Choose the color shade to be applied in the project.
2. Select material: Choose which product you are mixing (e.g., Microbase XT, Coarse, Medium, Smooth, or Trowel X).
3. Are you mixing the entire bucket directly?
   • Select YES if you are mixing the full package at once (common for larger floor areas). Then proceed directly to Step 9.
   • Select NO if you are mixing a partial batch. In bathrooms and on smaller surfaces, it is standard to mix 1/2 or 1/3 of a bucket at a time. Proceed to Step 5.
4. Did you pigment a full bucket during preparation? (Shown if you answered NO to Step 3)
   • Select YES if the entire bucket was pre-pigmented. Skip to Step 8.
   • Select NO if you only pigmented a partial amount of powder at a time. Proceed to Step 5.
   Recommendation: Always pigment full buckets to guarantee exact color consistency. With smaller partial batches, slight shade variations may occur.
5. How many kg of Component A did you pigment in total? (Shown if you answered NO to Step 4)
   Enter the total amount of Component A (in kg) that you added pigment to during preparation (for example, 2.5 kg). This refers to the total quantity prepared, not what you are taking out right now.
6. How much are you mixing in this batch?
   Enter the amount of cement you are mixing right now (e.g., 1 kg out of the 2.5 kg that was pigmented).
   ⚠️ Important regarding weight: Because water and pigment have already been mixed into the powder, this must be accounted for in the weight. Always weigh Component A on a digital scale.
   💡 Good to know: An empty bucket weighs approx. 320 g without lid.
7. How much water did you add during pigmentation?
   Enter the exact amount of water (in grams) you added when the powder was pigmented.
8. What total % of water do you want in the mix?
   Most applications require between 3% and 10% total water content. Choose the percentage based on substrate and application technique:

   Material	Wall	Floor / Special Technique
   Microbase XT	2–3% (provides higher opacity)	4–6% (yields thinner layers)
   Microquartz Coarse	4–6%	5–6% (7–8% with rubber trowel)
   Microquartz Medium	3–5%	4–6% (7–8% when rolling)
   Microquartz Smooth	3–5%	4–6%
   Trowel X Base	Always 4–6%
   Trowel X L	Always 4–4.5%
