Description

This product adds another dimension to your work, and is very cost effective!  I am selling in 1 kg bags.
NOTE: The product is fibre-reinforced, and does contain visible fibres.  You may want to sift before use if you are intending to apply a thin coat (or remove them with tweezers if they clump on the surface).

Preparing your project:

• Because of the fluid nature of the product, seepage can occur (as shown), so take care to glue well.
  • Clean excess glue away well, as thick deposits may show through the finished layer.
• Projects should have an edge to stop product flowing off your substrate:
  • You can create a temporary dam with a few layers of painters tape, or some blue-tac;
  • create a tiled edge (grouted);
  • Use a frame; or
  • use one of our Walled Boards, as I did. Available here.
• Porous substrates should be primed prior to application.
• Make sure your work is positioned on a LEVEL surface where it can remain undisturbed until set (approx. 20 mins at 23ºC).
• As a cementitious product, a P95 mask and gloves should be used when handling dry material.
• Very low VOC
• Can be coloured:
  • As with most cement products, no more than 10% pigment should be added.
  • Add colour to dry powder, and stir well.
  • Adding pigment will make the product dry out more quickly, so you should mix it a bit wetter (but not too much)
  • The product is white. If you are after a darker background, I also sell a grey version here

How to Use:

• You are aiming for a pourable consistency – somewhere between pouring cream and thickened cream.
• Mix the required amount into clean cold water. Ratio is 215-220mls water per kg (depending on temp).
  • 220mls water weighs 220gms. So if you want to mix 100 grams of product you will need to add 22 grams of water (approx.)
• Can be used in thicknesses between 3mm and 20mm.
• Stir smoothly. Do not shake, as this introduces air bubbles.
• apply immediately after slaking (note slaking time below).
• Pour slowly onto your piece.
• use a poker, pick or toothpick to encourage the mixed product to flow into corners and small areas.
• Remove any visible fibres with tweezers.
• Leave undisturbed until set (approx. 20 minutes).
• Clean utensils straight away, or dispose of responsibly.
