APPLICATION - HOW TO USE:

Surface Preparation: Concrete/Cementitious Substrates:

All substrates should be dry (maximum 75% RH to BS8203 appendix A 1987) clean, sound and free of laitance. DPM's should be installed and intact. Mechanical scarifying, vacuum blasting.

Priming:

FLINTEX PRIMER: With porous substrates, two coats are strongly recommended.

Topcoat Mixing:

Prior to mixing, thoroughly prestir the A & B components to ensure no separation or settlement remains. Mechanically. A suitable slow speed drill and paddle for at least 4 minutes until homogeneous. Premix A & B components using a drill and paddle for a minimum of 2 minutes. Each pack shall be mixed for a consistent time to minimise the potential for colour variation.

Application:

Ensure primer layer is thoroughly dry (see above). Immediately pour out mixed material onto prepared, primed substrate. Screed to correct specified thickness using a straight edged trowel. After application, thoroughly de-aerate the material by CONTINUALLY rolling with a special spiked roller (up to 45 minutes after application). Use of spiked shoes is recommended. Pay particular attention to edge and joint details.

Joints:

Expansion and movement joints must be carried through the topping.
