ApplicationMixture ratio 2.9 – 3.4 liters of clean water for a 25 kg (55.1 lb) bag Layer thickness The total thickness, in 2 layers of SikaMur® Dry (adhesion layer + final layer) must be at least 20 mm (0.787 in). Ambient air temperature +5 °C (+41 °F) min. / +35 °C (+95 °F) max. Support temperature +5 °C (+41 °F) min. / +35 °C (+95 °F) max. Lifetime of the mixture 30 minutes at 20 °C (68 °F) Waiting Time / Recoating To apply SikaMur® Dry on top of SikaMur® Dry, wait until the previous layer has hardened. A minimum of 15 days drying/curing period shall be allowed before applying SikaMur® Finish over SikaMur® Dry to prevent cracking in the final finished layer Consumption ~30 kg/m 2 for a thickness of 2 cm (0.787 in) per applied layer shuffle Mix a 25 kg (55.1 lb) bag of SikaMur® Dry with 2.8 – 3.4 liters of water, depending on the required workability. Mix with an electric mixer at low speed or a mini concrete mixer until you get a homogeneous, uniform, lump-free mixture with a pasty consistency. Do not mix longer than necessary (three minutes), so that too much air does not enter the plaster. APPLICATION The mixture will be applied in at least 2 layers, creating a preliminary adhesion layer on which the plaster is applied. The adhesion layer must be made with mortar with a fluid consistency; the next layer of plaster must be applied on top of the adhesive layer already applied - which can thus support the weight of the mortar layer - and must be made with paste-like mortar that is applied with a trowel to obtain a straight-edged finish and is finished with wood chips. CLEANING OF TOOLS Clean tools immediately after use with water. Hardened material can only be cleaned by mechanical means. |
