Method of Application
-
Surface Prearation
- Surface must be free of dirt, oil, grease, scaling paint, releasing agents, curing agents, dust, loose particles, efflorescence or other foreign materials.
- Spray sufficient amount of clean potable water to neutralize the suction of the background.
- Allow free water to evaporate completely before the application of the rush coat RC-200.
- Mixing Mix approx. 11.5 litres of clean potable water per 50kg bag. Add rush coat RC-200 to water and mix with a suitable mechanical mixer. Allow to stand for approx. 5 minutes to completely dissolve the chemical additives. Do not add any additional water once mixing is completed.
- Application Apply using a "Tyrolean Box"or with a hopper spray gun. Do not apply by trowel. Apply the material in two coats wet on wet but allow the first coat to stiffen slightly then spray the second coat. A rough texture is to be obtained to provide a mechanical key for the subsequent coat of plaster.
- Curing Moist curing for 2 days (3-4 times daily) is necessary due to the absorption of moisture as well as the evaporation of surface moisture.
- Precautions Do not apply if raining. Protect from rain for 48 hrs after application. Hard or lumpy material must not be used.
- Storage RC-200 must be protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Store off the ground in a cool and dry place.
