How to make my waxed concrete?

The steps are as follows:

1. Prepare the support with an underlay, the frame (if necessary) and the preparation mortar
2. Mixed waxed concrete with pigments
3. Application of a very fine 1st layer
4. Application of a 2nd layer of waxed concrete once the 1st is dry
5. Installation of anti-humidity protection
