Directions for Use

Surface Preparation:

Surfaces are to be clean, sound and free of deleterious substances. Remove all laitance, oil, grease, mould oil or curing compound from concrete surfaces using wire brush, bush hammer, scabbler or other plant as appropriate. When repairing damaged concrete, ensure that all loose concrete has removed down to a firm base. Note construction joints that need to be carried through the floor to surface.

Priming:

Surfaces should be dampened down with water but not wet. No additional priming is required.

Application:

Mix 10-14Lts clean water with 20Kg of MULTI SKIM COAT 409 well in a bucket using a mechanical mixer. Pour approximately three quarters of the required mixing water into the empty clean container and begin slow mixing while adding the MULTI SKIM COAT 409 powder. Gradually add more MULTI SKIM COAT 409 powder and mixing liquid to bring the slurry to the consistence of a heavy, completely blended pancake batter. Stop mixing and allow the material to "fatten" for 5 minutes. Remix after above period, it may be necessary to add more water to obtain the correct consistency. Ensure all lumps have been broken up. Apply over the dampened areas with a steel trowel to the required thickness. Smooth allow set hard. Another decorative coat can be applied after 12-18 hours, again dampening the surfaces before application. Sand with 100-120 grit sandpaper to a smooth finish if necessary.

Equipment Care

All tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use. If delayed, equipment will need mechanical action to clean or be discarded.
