Application Information

• Mixing Ratio: 4.75 qts (4.5 L) of water per bag
• Coverage: 26 ft² (2.3 m²) at 1/4” (6 mm) thickness per bag (coverage may vary depending on surface profile, porosity, and material waste)
• Layer Thickness:
  • Neat application: 1/8” (3 mm) to 3” (76 mm)
  • Extended application: 1/4” (6 mm) to 4” (102 mm)
• Product Temperature: 65–75°F (18–24°C)

• Substrate Temperature: 41–86°F (5–30°C)
• Relative Air Humidity: <75%
• Pot Life: Approximately 20 minutes

Note: The application temperature will impact the pot life:

• Temperatures above 73°F (23°C) reduce pot life and working time.
• Temperatures below 73°F (23°C) extend pot life and working time.

Waiting / Recoat Times

• Walk-on Time: 4 hours
• Suitable for Overcoating with:
  • Non-moisture-sensitive floor coverings: 4 hours
  • Moisture-sensitive floor coverings: 24 hours (up to 3/8” or 9.5 mm thickness)*

Note: Actual times may vary based on ambient conditions, substrate, material thickness, and relative humidity. Ensure that the moisture content of the substrate is within the required level before applying the subsequent floor finish or adhesive. Always refer to the specific product data sheets for the floor finish or adhesive being used.
