65^o – 75^o F (18^o – 24^o C)

> 40^o - 95^o F (4^o - 35^o C)

> 40^o - 95^o F (4^o - 35^o C)

(Yield figures do not include allowance for surface profile, porosity or material waste)

• Wet down all tools and mixer to be used.
• Pour the required amount of clean, potable water [approximately 70^o F (21^o C)] into a suitably sized and clean mixing container, using a calibrated measuring jug or similar, to ensure strict controlof the water content.  Do not over-water.
• Add 1 bag while continuing to mix with a low-speed drill (400 - 600 rpm) and mortar mixing paddle, or in an appropriate morter mixer.
• Once all the powder has been added, mix to a uniform consistency, maximum 3 minutes, until a lump-free blend is achieved.
• Thorough mixing and proper proportioning of the powder and liquide is necessary.
• To help control setting times, colder water may be used in hot weather and warmer water may be used in cold weather.
• 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 or undiluted SikaLatex^® R: Pour 4.5 pints (2.1 L) of liquid into the mixing container. Slowly add powder, mix and adjust as above. Add up to another 1/2 pint (0.24 L) maximum of liquid to achieve desired consistency. Do not over-water.

• With diluted SikaLatex^® R: SikaLatex^® R admixture may be diluted up to 5:1 (water: SikaLatex^® R) for projects requiring minimal polymer modification. Pour 4.5 pints (2.1 L) of the mixture into the mixing container. Slowly add powder, mix and adjust as above.

EXTENSION WITH AGGREGATES

• For applications greater than 1" (25 mm) in depth, add 3/8" (10 mm) coarse aggregate.
• The typical addition rate is 25 lbs (11.4 kg) of aggregate per bag. It is approximately 2 gallons (7.6 L) by loose volume of aggregate.
• The aggregate must be non-reactive (reference ASTM C 1260, C 227 and C 289), clean, well graded, Saturated Surface Dry (SSD), have low absorption and high density, and comply with ASTM C 33 size number 8 per Table 2.
• Variances in aggregate may result in different strengths.
• Do not use limestone aggregate.
• Do not exceed a slump of 7" (178 mm). This may cause excessive bleeding and retardation and may reduce the strength and performance of the material.

• A neat mix of SikaQuick®-1000 / SikaQuick®-1000 LD mortar must be scrubbed into the mechanically prepared, SSD substrate. Be sure to fill all pores and voids.
• Force material against edge of repair, working toward center.  After filling repair, screed off excess.
• Allow material to set to desired stiffness, then finish with wood or sponge float for a smooth finish, or broom or burlap-drag for a rough finish.
• If a smoother finish is desired, a magnesium float should be used.
• To assist in the finishing process, use SikaFilm^® finishing aid. Consult current Product Data Sheet.
• Mixing, placing, and finishing should not exceed 30 minutes maximum.
• Refer to ACI 305, the "Guide to Hot Weather Concreting" or ACI 306, the "Guide to Cold Weather Concreting" when there is a need to place this product while either hot or cold temperatures prevail. Thinner placements will be more sensitive to the temperature conditions.

• As per ACI recommendations for portland cement concrete, moist curing is required.
• Moist cure with wet burlap and polyethylene, a fine mist of water or with a water based,* compatible curing compound meeting ASTM C 309.
• 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.
• To prevent from freezing, cover with insulating material (e.g. curing blanket).

* Pretesting of curing compound is recommended.
