Application Instructions
-
Ensure all surfaces are clean, solid, and free from dust, oil, or contaminants

Pre-wet the surface to aid bonding and reduce suction
-
Mix 3 parts Rapidcas powder to 1 part clean, cold water until a smooth, thick paste is achieved
-
Only mix what can be used within 5 minutes
-
Apply using a trowel or filling knife
-
Do not add more water once the cement starts to stiffen-this will weaken the set
