PRE-MIX CONCRETE

Stone Mix

Use where the thickness of finished Concrete will be in excess of 5cm (2”).
(see Sand Mix for finishes are less than 5cm or 2”.)

SUGGESTED USES
Smooth out Concrete floors where the repair is less than 5cm (2”) thick.

NOTE

Use where concrete will exceed 5cm (2”) thickness. 1 bag = ½ cubic foot
Bags needed per linear foot of concrete forming tubes:

6” uses ½ bag
8” uses 1 bag
10” uses 1 ¼ bag
12” uses 2 bags

Use above 5°C (41°F). Keep from freezing.

Empty contents of bag into a wheelbarrow or concrete mixer.
Use approximately 3.5 litres of potable water per 30kg bag
Add water, a little at a time, to get your desired consistency.
(AVOID A RUNNY MIXTURE)
After placing the concrete, tamp with a rake to help release any trapped air.
Rough level with a straight edge board
Wait until mix stiffens to begin finish trowel work.
Use a broom for a textured finish or a steel trowel for a smooth finish.
Keep finished concrete damp for 24 hours

Note: Mixing with cold water will retard the set slightly in hot weather.

For best results:

Do’s

Apply freshly mixed concrete as soon as possible
Surface areas of the old concrete should be cleaned and dampened before placing the newly mixed concrete material.
When applying new concrete to old, a liquid concrete bonding agent should be first applied.
Plastic film or a damp burlap is recommended

Do not attempt to re-mix after the initial set.
Do not apply in less than a 5cm (2”) thickness.
Do not apply if the temperature is expected to fall below 5°C (41°F) within the next 24 hours.
