Instruction for Use

Surface preparation Concrete surfaces should be clean, sound and free from oil, greases,

grouting. Make sure, that necessary formwork is firmly in place and
watertight.
Cleaning Clean all tools and equipment with water immediately after use.
Hardened mortar can only be mechanically removed.
