Surface
Preparation
|
|
All receiving
surfaces should be clean, free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, loose
stone, loose sand, deteriorating paint or foreign materials which
could hinder bonding ability. Smooth surfaces should be abraded
before application. Porous surfaces should be lightly dampened before
applying Superhold.
Try a test patch
on questionable surfaces and allow to dry for 24 hours. If Superhold
curls or cracks, the surface must be clean thoroughly prior to application.

Agent
Application
|
|
No stirring
or dilution is required. Superhold may be applied by hand using
a brush or roller. It also may be spray applied using an airless
sprayer that delivers at least 40 psi, with an orifice size of at
least .020 inch (.5mm). Spray nozzle should be held approximately
18 inches from the surface and material should be applied in a criss
cross pattern. Apply new material within 72 hours of Superhold application.
For maximum
adhesion of new cementitious materials, use Merlex Acrylex as an
admix (1 part of Acrylex to 3 parts water) plus Superhold (undiluted)
on the substrate.
