VI. New Project Application Guidelines (continued)
• DO NOT COMPACT material before G3-PS has been
applied! For best results and proper absorption of
G3-PS, the crushed stone mix material should
only be graded into place before pouring liquid
stabilizer in.
• The material should be graded approximately 1/2” - 3/4”
above the planned nish grade to allow for proper
compaction. Typically, a crushed stone mix will reduce
by 30% of its overall graded height after compaction.
Considering this, 2” of material will compact to a nal
depth of approximately 1.5”.
• Consider slope during installation of material. Proper
nished grade slope or crowning of the surface will
ensure adequate runoff for drainage purposes.
Apply TechniSoil G3-PS
• Apply G3-PS to graded material at a rate of 20ft²/gallon
using a standard watering can with shower head
or a pressurized hand-held or backpack sprayer.
For larger applications, electric, high-capacity sprayers
may be used.
• Allow 45 - 90 minutes for G3-PS to fully absorb into the
aggregate. Cool, overcast weather and/or shading can
increase absorption time. If after 90 minutes the surface
is still saturated or appears muddy, wait an additional
15 - 30 minutes to allow G3-PS to fully absorb before
compaction.
• Proper compaction may not be achieved if material is
too saturated and can create aesthetic blemishes.
• Do not allow G3-PS liquid to completely dry before
compacting, as this will adversely affect the overall
structural and cross-linking strength.
Compact surface
• After G3-PS is fully absorbed into material,compact
surface layer to 95% or greater compaction using a
vibratory plate compactor (typically 3 - 4 longitudinal
passes).
• Use a hand tamper in areas that ca not be reached by
the plate compactor.
• If the surface looks smeared or sticks to th bottom of
the compactor, wait an additional 20 - 30 minutes
before attempting to compact.
• If cosmetic repairs are required, use a hand tamp and/or
common masonry trowel to make adjustments as
needed.
Apply TechniSoil G3-PS Topcoat
• Apply a topcoat 12 - 24 hours after the rst
application or once the surface has completely dried at
a rate of 50ft²/gallon.
• Surface is completely dry and ready to use when it is
hard to the touch.
• Allow 24 - 72 hours to fully cure.
Clean all tools
• Immediately after use, clean tools by simply rinsing
tools with water and a soft bristle brush.
