Application steps

MIXING

Depending on the site conditions and due to the rapid curing of the product only small quantities may be mixed at any one time. Thoroughly and quickly the powder and water in a suitable container. Mix only the amount that can be immediately applied by gloved hand or trowel.

APPLICATION

Quickly work the mixed mortar firmly into the leaking crevice, V-cut, joint etc. and hold in place with a gloved hand or trowel until the mortar is sufficiently hard to remain in place. Strike off flush with the surface if desired. Repeat this procedure, mixing small quantities at a time until the seepage or leak is stemmed. If the water pressure is too high, a timber plug maybe installed then covered with Sika® Plug.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and equipment immediately after use with water.  Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
