Application steps

MIXING

Wet down all tools and mixer to be used.
Mix mechanically with a low-speed drill (400–600 rpm) and mixing paddle or mortar mixer.
Mix to a uniform consistency, maximum 3 minutes.
Manual mixing can be tolerated only for less than a full unit.
Thorough mixing and proper proportioning of the powder and liquid is necessary.
Inaccurate proportioning of the powder to liquid will result in a finished product that may not conform to the typical published performance property values.

With water

Start mixing with 6 pints (2.8 L) of water per bag.
Adjust the water dosage by a maximum amount of +/- 1/2 pint, if necessary, to achieve the desired consistency.
Do not over-water. Over-watering may result in difficulty handling and/or not meeting stated property values.

With Sika Latex R

Start mixing with 6 pints (2.8 L) of Sika Latex® R per bag.
Adjust the Sika Latex® R dosage by a maximum amount of +/- 1/2 pint, if necessary, to achieve the desired consistency.
Do not overdose with SikaLatex® R. Using too much SikaLatex®-R may result in difficulty handling and/or not meeting typical published performance property values.

With SikaQuick® Winter Boost

Pour the recommended volume of clean, potable water [> 34° F (- 1° C)] into a suitably sized and clean mixing container.
Add 1/2 or 1 cup per bag into the water and mix until it is dissolved.
Add the contents of the SikaQuick® VOH / SikaQuick® VOH LD bag while continuing to mix.
Refer to the current Product Data Sheet for complete and detailed instructions on the use of the SikaQuick® Winter Boost.

APPLICATION

The mixed SikaQuick® VOH / SikaQuick® VOH LD must be worked well into the prepared substrate, filling all pores and voids.
Compact well. Force material against edge of repair working towards the center. Thoroughly compact the mortar around exposed reinforcement.
After filling repair, consolidate, then screed.
Finish with steel, magnesium, wood, plastic floats, or damp sponges, depending on the desired surface texture.

MULTIPLE LIFTS

Where multiple lifts are required, score top surface on each lift to produce a roughened substrate for next lift.
Allow preceding lift to harden and achieve initial set before applying fresh material.
SSD previous lift by lightly misting with clean water. Remove all standing droplets.
Repeat procedure until desired installation thickness is achieved. Finish the final lift of SikaQuick® VOH / SikaQuick® VOH LD as described above.
If previous layers are over 6 hours old, mechanically prepare the substrate and dampen.

CURING TREATMENT

As per ACI recommendations for Portland cement concrete, curing is required.
Moist cure with wet burlap and polyethylene, a fine mist of water or Sika® Antisol®-250 W*.
Curing compounds adversely affect the adhesion of following lifts of mortar, leveling mortar or protective coatings.
Moist curing should commence immediately after finishing.
Protect freshly applied mortar from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost.

* Pretesting of curing compound is recommended.
