APPLICATION

Ensure surfaces are free from loose particles, oils and greases. Shake well before use. For optimum colour consistency the sand, cement and dye should be from the same batches. We recommend making a trial mix to ensure the colour is as required (including leaving to dry/set). Mix well, add the dye to the gauging water. Add to cement and sand and mix well until colour is dispersed. Once setting has begun any movement, e.g trowelling, will result in loss of colour uniformity.

Limitations

• Not suitable as a stain. Only to be used with a cement mix.
• Not suitable for structural concrete.
• Not suitable for lime based mixes.
• If a series of mixes is required for a large piece of work then variations in batches of sand, cement and the dye will results in some shade differences.
• Inconsistency in mix ratios, finishing and curing environments can result in small shade variations.
