How to Guide

For installation over acceptable adhesive residue, remove adhesive
by scraping until all that remains is a thin transparent layer of
adhesive. Concrete and cementitious substrates must be fully cured
and free of any hydrostatic pressure or excessive moisture. All
surface protrusions must be removed by sanding, scrapping or
chipping. Substrate temperature should be a minimum of 43ºF (6ºC)
during application and air temperature maintained above 50ºF
(10ºC). DO NOT cover existing building expansion or control
joints. Remove all dust by vacuuming. Not recommended for use
over expansion or control joints.

hours. For moisture sensitive floor coverings refer to the finished

Instructions for Mixing
Mix only as much TEC

Skill Set™ Skimcoat and Patch as can be
used in 10-15 minutes. For best results, maintain all tiling materials,
substrates, room and adhesives at 50º-70ºF (10-21ºC) for 24 hours
before and 48 hours after installation. Avoid breathing dust and
contact with eyes and skin. Avoid using high speed mixing, not to
exceed 300 rmp, to prevent entraining air. Add powder to liquid for
ease of mixing.
In a clean mixing container, slowly add product to clean, cool, water
as specified in the chart below.

Patch into the void to be filled with a flat steel trowel and then
finish to a level surface to the required smoothness. The working
time for this product is 10-15 minutes depending upon the
temperature. For repairs greater than 1/2” in thickness, you will
need two applications, allowing the first application to set before
applying the second. Do not exceed a total thickness of 1”. Do not
overwork the product.
