Application Method
Surface Preparation
Ensure substrates are clean and sound. Ensure all dust, dirt and flaking material and foreign matter are brushed and scraped away.
Priming
Dry and porous substrates should be primed with Terraco Terrabond A diluted with water in a 1:3 ratio as a primer coat. Other surfaces should be saturated with water before application, but no standing water should be present.
Application
Apply one coat of Terraco Maxicrete mix (powder & resin in the ratio 3:1) using brush or spray and let it dry overnight.
On the corners, and joints and around pipes, apply one more coat of Terraco Maxicrete mix and embed a layer of Terraco reinforcement mesh (should be embedded when the Maxicrete layer is wet). Allow it to dry overnight.
Apply the second coat of Terraco Maxicrete mix as final coat, perpendicular to the first coat, applying each coat at right angles to each other, to a total thickness of 1.5 -2.0mm. It is recommended that the total application
thickness be 1.5 mm under tiles and 2.0 mm for exposed areas.
