Painting Procedure

Application Procedure:

Follow proper surface preparation for new concrete.
Make sure surface is clean and dirt-free. Dampen surface using a rag soaked in water.
Mix A-Plus® Skim Coat 503 thoroughly before using. Never return exposed or dried product to its original container to prevent contamination.
Apply the slurry using a clean and smooth steel trowel. Press firmly for an even and thin coat. Recommended thickness is 0.3 to 2.0mm.
Allow the surface to dry for at least an hour before sanding. Allow sufficient drying time before painting.
If a thick overall coat is desired, apply multiple thin coats at 2-3 hours drying time in-between each coat. Recommended overall thickness is 0.5 to 3mm.

Suggested Painting System on Concrete Surfaces:

Waterproofing(Optional): For positive side waterproofing on areas such as Firewalls, Bathroom, Roofdecks, Basements, etc., apply 3-4 coats of a mixture of A-Plus® Concrete Bond with portland cement at 1-Ltr to 1-Kg ratio. Pot life is approx 4 hours. Allow 2-3 hours drying between each coat. For superior waterproofing on both positive and negative side water pressure, apply 2-3 coats of A-Plus Water-Check®.
