DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces are to be clean, sound and free of deleterious substances. Remove all laitance, oil, grease, mould oil or curing compound from concrete surfaces using wire brush, bush hammer, scabbler or other plant as appropriate. When repairing damaged concrete, ensure that all loose concrete has removed down to a firm base. Note construction joints that need to be carried through the floor to surface.
PRIMING
Prime floors with MULTI SCREED PRIMER. Allow for penetration into the substrate and remove any excess pooling of primer. MULTI SELF–LEVELLING GP can then be applied over the tacky primer but no later than 2 hours after drying of the primer. Do not apply over wet pooled primer as this will create runs in the screed and surface discolouration.
APPLICATION
Mix 5L clean water with 20kg of MULTI SELF-LEVELLING GP well in a bucket using a mechanical mixer. Ensure all lumps have been broken up. Pour over the primed areas and pin rake to the required thickness. Spike roll stubborn rake lines to promote a smooth, level finish. Allow 12-18 hours to set hard. Sand with 100-120 grit sandpaper to remove high points and polish to a hard, dust free surface.
EQUIPMENT CARE
All tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use. If delayed, equipment will need mechanical action to clean or be discarded.
