Protect from moisture. If damp, discard material

3 qts (2.8 L) per bag

Min.: 1/16”–1/8” (1.6–3.2 mm)

• BMI 280 Foam must cure for 72 hours before application of polymer finish coat.
• If a stucco cover coat is applied, its application should take place within 48 hours. If longer than 48 hours, a suitable bonding agent is recommended.
• In hot or dry climate conditions, lightly mist BMI 280 Foam with water to ensure proper curing.

(Coverage figures do not include allowance for surface profile and porosity or material waste)

• BMI 280 Foam should be mixed only with clean, potable water in a mechanical mixer or with a drill mixer in a five gallon pail.
• Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes until a paste-like consistency is achieved.
• Do not overmix, although the mixture can be retempered if needed.
• Do not mix any additives with BMI 280 Foam unless recommended by the manufacturer.

• BMI 280 Foam requires the use of a mesh product (fiberglass or synthetic) over the foam substrate.
• Can be applied to foam substrate and mesh utilizing an air induced application gun or by hand trowel.
• Following EIMA guidelines, BMI 280 Foam is applied to architectural foam details, the mesh is then imbedded into the wet foam layer with a trowel and additional BMI 280 Foam mixture is applied (if necessary) to “hide” the mesh and to smooth out the BMI 280 Foam layer.

• BMI 280 Foam is highly adhesive.
• Before material dries, tools and machinery require only water and sponge for simple cleanup.
• Spillage and overspray should be removed before BMI 280 Foam dries.
• If dry, residue will require time consuming removal.
