FULL INSTRUCTIONS:
SURFACE PREPARATION:
1. Chip back perimeter to expose enough lathe to provide proper lathe overlap.
2. Maintain an irregular, fractured edge.
3. Do NOT install against a saw cut edge.
4. Reinstall any damaged lathe and vapor barrier to meet building code requirements.
5. Concrete must be free of materials such as paint, oil, curing compound, bond breaker, etc. that will inhibit bonding.
6. Open cracks to minimum width of 1/4 inch.
7. Thoroughly clean extraneous material such as dirt, loose chips, and dust from concrete surface. If compressed air is used, it shall be free of oil.
8. In hot, dry, or windy conditions pre-wet the adjoining stucco.
9. Allow surface to dry.
MIXING:
1. Organize personnel and equipment before mixing.
2. See product package for amount of water to use.
3. Mixed material should have a temperature of about 70°F. Warmer material will set faster than expected and cooler material will have slower strength gain. Control the mixed temperature by protecting the bags of repair material from temperature extremes and adjust the mixed temperature by using hot or cold water.
4. Add potable water first then add material while mixing mechanically or by hand.
5. Do NOT add any other admixtures. Do NOT add sand, aggregate, or cement.
6. Mix until smooth, uniform, and lump-free (usually 3 to 5 minutes).
7. Do NOT re-temper.
8. Clean mixing bucket and tools between batches.
PLACEMENT:
1. Place material onto the surface dry substrate.
2. Surface and ambient temperatures must be at least 45°F and rising.
3. Protect adjacent surfaces with drop cloths, waterproof paper, or other means to maintain them free of material splashes, water, and debris.
4. Place material immediately after mixing.
5. Use a trowel or putty knife to finish smooth and flush with the surface.
6. Use a trowel, float, or sponge to match the texture of the surrounding area.
CURING:
1. Moist cure for 1 hour.
CLEAN UP:
1. Clean all tools immediately after use.
2. Clean excess material from surrounding areas immediately.
