APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION  

  • Scrape any dust, chipping, construction-cement waste that may be present inside the joint hole and clean with a brush before application.
  • Joint hole shall be dampened with water before application, if required.

PREPARATION of the MORTAR  

  • Water shall be put to the mixing vessel first, then FUGAFIX SLK SUPER FLEX® shall be added (6.5-7.5 l water/20 kg bag) and it shall be stirred until the lumps are removed. We recommend you to use a hand mixer at low speed for mixing. Wait for 5 minutes, and stir again to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
  • The mortar prepared shall be applied with a rubber ended scraper or a rubber trowel with a suitable thickness.
  • Approximately 30 minutes after the application, surface shall be cleaned with a damp sponge. This period may be shorter for coating materials with heated surface or with high water absorption rate and for applications that are performed under improper conditions.
  • Fluctuation may occur on the joint surface when the wiping operation is performed before its due time or with an excessively dampened sponge. Sponge shall be cleaned frequently.
  • After ensuring that FUGAFIX SLK SUPER FLEX® is cured so that it shall not be drained from the joint gap, clean any residues on the surface with a dry cloth.
  • Application surface shall be damped at least 1 days after the application.
  • When the surface cleaning operation is not performed adequately, the joint filler residues on the coating may be cleaned with a suitable cement stain remover (PRIMEL 300®) after 10 days.
