What surfaces can I use this cement on?

How much water do I need to add?

What is the coverage rate?

How should I store the cement?

Troubleshooting

Cement is not setting quickly.

Ensure you are using clean water and mixing thoroughly. Check that the product has not been stored in damp conditions, which could affect its performance. Verify that you have not added excessive amounts of water.

Difficulty mixing to a smooth consistency.

Add water gradually and mix continuously. If the mix becomes too dry, add a very small amount of water. If it becomes too wet, it may compromise setting time and strength; try to achieve a stiff, workable paste.

The repaired area is cracking.

Excessive water in the mix or applying the cement too thinly over a large area can cause cracking. For larger repairs, consider a different type of cement or use multiple applications with reinforcement if necessary.

Product has hardened in the bag.

This indicates the product has been exposed to moisture during storage. It is no longer usable and should be disposed of safely.
