8. For professional use only: Self-Leveler Plus may
be extended with 1/4" to 3/8" (6 to 10 mm) of clean,
saturated surface-dry (SSD) aggregate on the primed
surface at no more than half of the total pour depth.
Pour Self-Leveler Plus over placed aggregate and rake
aggressively to ensure full contact and bond with the
substrate. Immediately pour 1/4" (6 mm) of Self-Leveler
Plus over the raked aggregate to provide a smooth,
level surface. Alternately, one may add aggregate (up
to 30% by weight) directly to Self-Leveler Plus when
mixing; in this case, add the aggregate after reaching a
homogenous mix of Self-Leveler Plus and water. Note:
Use only clean, nonreactive aggregates.
EXPANSION AND CONTROL
JOINTS
• Provide for expansion and control joints where specified,
including the perimeter of the room, columns, supports
and equipment pedestals. If control and expansion joints
do not exist in the substrate, provide for movement joints
in the system in accordance with TCNA EJ 171.
• Do not bridge the substrate’s expansion and control
joints. Ensure that such joints are honored completely
through Self-Leveler Plus and the primer (Primer T ).
• Cut joints in
Self-Leveler Plus at least 1/4" (6 mm) wide
within 24 hours of application.
CLEANUP
• Wash hands and tools with water promptly before the
material hardens. Cured material must be mechanically
removed.
• Applications in cooler temperatures may require extra
curing time before the installation of floor-covering
materials.
CURING
•
Self-Leveler Plus is self-curing; do not use a damp-
curing method or curing and sealing compounds.
PROTECTION
• Protect Self-Leveler Plus from excessive heat or draft
conditions during curing. Turn off all forced ventilation
and radiant-heating systems. Protect for up to 24 hours
after completion.
• Protect the installation from traffic, dirt, dust and other
trades until Self-Leveler Plus has completely cured and
the final flooring has been installed.
• Do not expose Self-Leveler Plus to heavy loads for at
least 72 hours after installation.
Refer to the SDS for specific data related to VOCs, health and
safety, and handling of product.
