_{* Coverage rates vary depending on porosity of substrates and application techniques.}

Substrates must be clean, dry, sound and free of loose material, releasing agents, paint, efflorescence, contaminants and other coatings. Use of SikaWall-15 Tinted Primer or Parex Primer can improve color uniformity by minimizing substrate read-through in light colors.

• Concrete: allow to cure a minimum of 28 days prior to application of primer or finish.
• Unit Masonry: allow to cure prior to application of primer or finish. When needed, apply a leveling coat of Parex 121 Dry Basecoat to provide a smooth surface and minimizethe likelihood of mortar joint read through prior to application of finish.
• Stucco: allow to cure a minimum of 6 days prior to application of primer or finish.

Note: Color uniformity, not for adhesion assistance.

Concrete: allow to cure a minimum of 28 days prior to application of primer or finish. Remove all projections and form lines. 

Unit Masonry: allow to cure prior to application of primer or finish. Remove all loose mortar and projections. When needed, apply a leveling coat of Parex 121 Dry Basecoat to provide a smooth surface and minimize the likelihood of mortar joint read through prior to application of finish.

Stucco: allow to cure a minimum of 6 days prior to application of primer or finish.

Thoroughly mix the factory prepared finish with a paddle and low speed drill to a uniform workable consistency. A small amount of clean potable water may be added to adjust workability. Do not exceed 10 oz. of water per 5-gallon pail.

• Additives are not permitted.
• Close container when not in use. 
• Clean tools with soap and water immediately after use. Dried material can only be removed mechanically.

1. Apply finish directly to the substrate (or primed substrate) with a clean, stainless steel trowel. Apply and level finish during the same operation to minimum obtainable thickness consistent with uniform coverage.  
2. Maintain a wet edge on finish by applying and texturing continually over the wall surface. Work finish to corners, joints or other natural breaks and do not allow material to set up within an uninterrupted wall area.
3. Float finish to achieve final texture.

Note: For smooth application of DPR 533 Sand Smooth finish, allow the first coat of DPR 533 Sand Smooth finish to dry prior to applying a second coat. 2 coats are required for a smooth texture. 
For free-formed application including stipple and skip-trowel, maximum thickness not to exceed 1/8” (3.2mm).

Drying Time

Under average conditions [70 ˚F (21˚C), 50% Relative Humidity] finish will be dry within 24 hours. Drying time is dependent on humidity, air temperature, sun exposure, surface conditions and finish thickness. Lower temperature, higher humidity and application in shaded areas will extend drying time. Protect finish from rain or other precipitation and temperatures less than 40˚F (4˚C) for a minimum of 24 hours or until dry.
