The usage of the repair

• Repairing the honeycombed and destroyed surfaces of the concrete
• Filling the pores of the concrete surface
• Subgrade the surface to implement surface waterproofing.

The instruction to use the surface repair:

The desired surface should be cleaned from any weakness with suitable tools, and grooves must be made in different directions to more than 2 mm depth within a suitable distance to involve the paste in the surface texture completely.
5 liters of water is poured into the mixer per 25 kg packet of SoftCoat RP, and the powder is added to the water at a suitable rate. The mixing should continue so that a uniform mortar is obtained.
After surface cleaning, a primer can be used for subgrade to increase bonding. The CapcoBond MO40 is suitable for this purpose. This primer waterproofs the surface as well as increases the bonding. The prepared paste must be applied by trowel on the surface before the primer dries completely.
For repairs with more than 3 cm depth, an amount of sand proportionate to the concrete surface being repaired must be mixed with the product. The size of the sands is 3 to 10 mm depending on the repair surface. Also, the used sand must be washed and cleaned. It is necessary to use CapcoBond MO40 for bedding.

Curing: The surface will reach full setting about 3 to 4 hours after troweling. It is necessary to use the wet curing method for the repaired surface for at least 72 hours.
