4. Smooth surface with a trowel to the same level of the existing concrete slab.
Refer to:
- ACI 305R Guide to Hot Weather Concreting
- ACI 306R Guide to Cold Weather Concreting
For use as a Mortar Bed:
Sakrete Sand Mix must be mixed to a dry pack consistency adding just enough
water to allow for a dense mortar bed.
Installations must follow ANSI 108.1A, ANSI 108.1B or ANSI 108.1C for wet set or
mortar bed installations and the TCNA (Tile Council of North America for Ceramic
Tile Installations.
Mixing:
1. Empty contents of Sakrete Sand Mix into a wheelbarrow or mortar pan
forming a crater in the center of the dry mix for the addition of clean potable
water. Projects requiring multiple bags are mixed much easier with a
mechanical concrete mixer.
2. Add clean potable water (see table for water amounts) or enough to
achieve a workable mix. Add additional water if needed but AVOID A SOUPY
MIX. Excess water reduces strength and durability and can cause cracking,
dusting or scaling.
Curing:
1. Proper curing is critical for sound results. Curing means maintaining proper
moisture and temperature. The sand mix must be kept continuously moist
for several days. (Curing is not required when used to repair cracks)
2. Covering the sand mix slab with plastic is a practical way to help retain
moisture. Place plastic after concrete has set.
3. If surface begins to appear dry remove the plastic moisten the surface and
replace the plastic.
4. New sand mix can be opened to foot traffic in 24 hours and vehicular traffic
in 72 hours.
5. Keep from freezing for 48 hours
Precautions:
Air, mix and substrate temperatures should be between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F
(32°C) with no rain in the forecast within 24 hours of application. For
applications outside this range of temperatures and conditions, contact
Sakrete Technical Service.
