Metal surfaces (iron and steel) should befreefromscale,rust,oilandgrease.Absorbentsubstratesmustbesaturatedthoroughly,butthereshouldbenostandingwater.MixingThe pre-mixed powder is added to water to suit the desired consistency. For flowable consistency, approximately 4.2 litres of water per bag is required. Mix mechanically for 2-3 mins with a slow speed drill (max. 500 RPM) until a smooth evenconsistencyisachieved.ApplicationAfter mixing., allow the mortar to rest for a while, stirring lightly to ensure that airdisplayedbythegroutingisallowedtoescape.Whencarryingoutbaseplategrouting, ensure that sufficient pressure head is maintained to keep mortar flow uninterrupted. Make sure that the necessary formwork is firmly in place and kept water light.
