SURFACE PREPARATION
• Ensure that the surface is structurally sound and free of dust, oil, laitance, paint, curing compound, algae and mildew.
• Scrape off loose material and dust with a wire brush.
• Remove algae and mildew with an appropriate cleaner and wash with soap and water.
PRODUCT PREPARATION
• Mix 10 parts MONDO Skimcoat SK-1 1K to 3.5 - 4.0 parts clean tap water (20kg bag MONDO SK-1 to 7.50-8 liters water). Use a plastic pail, add MONDO Skimcoat SK-1 by increments to water and mix thoroughly to a homogeneous, lump free mixture.
• Use a hand drill-electric mixer for 2-3 minutes to attain a smooth and creamy paste.
• Allow the MONDO Skimcoat SK-1 water mixture to stand for 3-5 minutes and re-stir prior to application.
• Mix only a sufficient amount that can be applied in 30 mins - 1 hour. Warm exterior conditions will shorten pot life.
• Do not add water to extend pot life as excess water will affect the final performance properties of the skimcoat.
APPLICATION
• Light water misting of the concrete surface is recommended before applying the MONDO Skimcoat SK-1 water mixture.
• Surface sanding the applied area is not necessary but slight sanding may be done to correct unevenness. Avoid continuous heavy sanding as this results to excessive dust. Ensure that all dust and dirt is completely wiped off.
• Cure for 24 hours and finish with the recommended painting system for skimcoat-applied masonry surfaces.
