Surface Bonding Cement

Mixing:

1. Empty contents into a mortar box, wheelbarrow or mechanical mixer

2. Add clean potable water (see table above for water amounts) enough to

achieve a workable mix. A SOUPY MIX MUST BE AVOIDED.

3. The easiest means of mixing is with a 1/2” (13 mm) drill and a mixing

paddle. Add most of the water to a 5 gal (19 L) pail.

4. Mix for 2 minutes. Add additional water as needed and remix.

5. Can be colored by adding Sakrete Cement Color while mixing. Add amount

needed to mix water before adding dry material to achieve desired color.

6. Under hot, dry, windy conditions, replacing part of the mix water with up to

1/2 gal (1.9 L) of Sakrete Bonder & Fortifier will promote curing and improve

bond.

Curing:

In hot or windy conditions lightly spray the wall with water as needed to promote

adequate curing.

Can be painted:

Using an alkali resistant lime proof paint usually after 7 days of the stucco

application provided the masonry is dry. Contact paint manufacturer for

application recommendations.

Precautions:

(32°C) with no rain in the forecast within 24 hours of application. For

applications outside this range of temperatures and conditions, contact
