METHOD TO USE
Surface preparation
The surface must be fully cured, structurally stable, level, even, clean & free from paint & contaminants such as dirt, dust, loose material, oils & chemicals. Concrete surface must be cured for a minimum of 3 days priorto Finish Skimcoat application. The use of a level bar is essential to ensure levelness and / or plumbness of the surface. For painted surfaces, acid etch or abrade paint to ensure proper bonding. Prior to application, wet substrate well with clean water using a sponge or a roller brush. For outdoor application & during extreme hot weather conditions, such as noon time or summer, wet substrate very well and more frequently before applying skimcoat.
Mixing
In a clean plastic pail, mix clean water with Finish Skimcoat. Mixture should attain a smooth, creamy & lump-free consistency. Use a mixing torque for best results. Mixing time: 2 - 3 minutes. Let mixture rest for 15 mins. Mix again briefly before use.
Application
While the substrate is still damp, apply Finish Skimcoat to desired application thickness (0 - 5mm) using a steel trowel.
Finishing
Finish Skimcoat must receive further finish of paint or sealer as protection. Finish Skimcoat requires a minimum of 3-5 days curing prior to application of primer. This replaces the use of concrete neutralizer
