A musty/mildew type odor may come from the vents when the air conditioning (A/C) system is operating. It is most noticeable when the A/C is first turned ON. This odor is the result of mold growth in the A/C evaporator/ cooling unit which is caused by condensation, dust, and pollen within the cooling unit. This condition is usually worse during high humidity conditions. “Mazda Air Cooling Coil Coating” is available to encapsulate the mold to reduce odors. If the product is properly applied, it can effectively reduce the musty/mildew odor for up to three years. NOTE: See parts information for Mazda Air Cooling Coil Coating and Kit part numbers.

2 ) Cut or chisel the length of the crack creating a notch 1” wide and ―” to 1” deep. Examine the edges of the notch – they should not be smooth. Roughen up the edges if necessary so that the repair will bond firmly to the existing floor.
3 ) Wet the notched area thoroughly.
4 ) Mix the portland cement with the terrazzo chips to create a consistency which is not runny nor is it thick like dough. A consistency you can hold in your hand.
