5. INSTALLATION
Preparation
Read all directions before starting work.
• Prepare surfaces per manufacturers instructions of the
cement, concrete or masonry product being used. Proper
surface preparation is crucial to achieving a successful
application.
Note: It is the responsibility of the installer/applicator to ensure
the suitability of the product for its intended use.
Mixing
• Slowly stir product before use. Do not create bubbles or
foaming by shaking the product.
• In most cases, use Concrete Bonding Additive in place of
water when mixing or follow packaged product manufacturer
instructions for proper ratio.
• Protect liquid from freezing. If frozen, thaw out slowly. Gently
stir material to remix. If liquid is not smooth, DO NOT USE.
Application
When used as an additive with concrete mixtures, apply only to
surfaces that are frost free and above 40°F (4°C) and below
100°F (38°C) within 24 hours of application and 72 hours
thereafter. Do not apply in direct sunlight or hot, windy days or
when rain is forecasted within 24 hours. Protect new surfaces
from use until material is completely hard and set.
Curing
Follow manufacturers instructions for the cement, concrete or
masonry product being used.
Clean Up
Typically water will satisfactorily clean tools immediately after
using Concrete Bonding Additive. If the material has begun to
harden, warm soapy water may be helpful for cleaning hands
and tools. Hardened concrete mixtures require mechanical
removal.
Limitations
• Follow all industry standard safety procedures when handling,
such as gloves and eye protection.
• Do not allow unused bottle of product to freeze. Store dry at
40°F-95°F (4°C-35°C).
• Best when used in non polymer-modified mixes.
