SAFETY:
READ and UNDERSTAND the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using
this product. WARNING: Wear protective clothing and equipment. See HMIS
block. For emergency information, call CHEMTREC at 800-424-9300
or 703-527-3887 (outside USA). KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
PREPARATION:
When laying new brick or block walls first construct a sound footing below the
frost line. When repairing mortar joints or stucco, remove all loose and foreign
material. Dampen areas to be repaired just prior to application.
MIXING:
Empty contents into a mortar box, wheelbarrow or mechanical mixer. When
mixing by hand, form a crater for adding water. Add clean water according
to the table below or enough to achieve a workable mix. If too stiff, add more
water a little at a time. AVOID A SOUPY MIX. Excess water reduces strength
and durability and can cause cracking. In cold weather use warm water to
accelerate the set. Use cold water to slow the set in hot weather. Re-tempering impairs performance.
FINISHING:
Dress mortar joints with a joint tool. Texture stucco to match the surrounding
area using a plasterer’s trowel.
CURING:
In hot weather lightly dampen the material as needed to promote adequate
curing. In cold weather adequately cover and keep from freezing for a minimum of 24 hours.
CAN BE PAINTED
Using an alkali resistant lime proof paint usually within 7 days provided the
masonry is dry.
STORAGE:
Store material in a tightly closed container off the floor in a dry place.

PLACEMENT:
When laying brick or block, butter the end with mortar before placing into a
full bed of mortar. Tap into place while leveling. When tuck pointing mortar
joints, place material in the joint with a pointing trowel and compact. Allow
the newly placed material to set about 1 hour until the surface is thumb print
hard before striking with a jointer tool. When repairing stucco apply the material using a plasterer’s hawk and trowel using enough pressure to completely
fill and compact the material.
