Somewhat new to micro cement. the poly came up over a spot with trapped humidity and the spot has degraded. Moisture meter found 17% humidity at drain, 7% at perimeters.We have decided to remove the poly over the whole shower base by sanding and let the whole shower dry out then repair and reseal. My question is what grit sandpaper should I use to be sure to save the integrity of the micro cement finish?

I would go 40 grit to make sure its removed.May have to recoat if you cut through worse case.Thats the trouble with resin micro relying on Pu Sealer.I would highly recommend an epoxy based.
 
The product was Cimentart Aqua Nature and their poly. I am concerned with the irregular surface ( trowel dips, etc. high/low spots though minimal) that I will not get all of it removed and wonder if that will effect the new coat of sealer/poly that is their protocol.
What epoxy do you recommend? Matte finish possible? I am stateside btw.
Thanks for your response!

It may be easier to give me a call to discuss if that's ok.Yes I know that brand very well but not for the best.

Kind Regards

We bought a kit from DIY kit Microcement To You which came with 40 grit sandpaper and came out super well, would recommend come with everything and the final finish looks fantastic
