Mixing
Refer to the bag for how much water the concrete requires. Add the dry material to the water and mix thoroughly. The mixing is usually done with a concrete mixer, but small amounts of concrete can also be mixed using a shovel. We do not recommend adding all of the water right at the start. Find the right plasticity by adding water during mixing. Do not add more water than the provided guidelines specify, because it reduces the strength of the concrete and increases its shrinkage. The finished concrete remains workable for around two hours.
Work instructions
Mould and reinforcement work is done according to the normal working methods and the instructions of the designers.
Casting work is done according to the normal working methods and the instructions of the designers. The lowest usage temperature is + 5°C.
After treatment
You must care for the fresh casting by spraying with water and by protecting it with plastic that prevents excessive evaporation of moisture. The need for aftercare depends on the conditions. It should continue for at least two days.
