Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from loose particles, oil, grease, and any other contaminants. Any cracks or holes should be repaired before application.
Priming: Prime the substrate according to the manufacturer's instructions. Priming enhances adhesion and ensures optimal results. Consider the substrate type to select the proper primer.
Mixing: Mix the compound thoroughly with the recommended amount of water until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved.
Application: Pour the mixed compound onto the prepared surface and allow it to self-level. Use a trowel or gauge rake to assist spreading if necessary, particularly for thicker applications.
Curing: Allow the compound to cure completely before applying any flooring or coatings. Curing times will vary depending on the thickness and environmental conditions.
Compatibility: This compound is compatible with underfloor heating systems. Ensure the heating system is off during application and curing. It is also suitable for use with tiles and floor paints.
Care: Once cured, the surface can be cleaned using standard floor cleaning methods. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
