Bonding
The adhesive is applied to the back of the insulation boards in 4 vertical strips 100 mm wide, 25 - 30 mm thick.

Adhesive coat
Coat the insulation boards with the adhesive to a thickness of about 2 - 3 mm and lay in the meshcloth. Once the initial coat has started to 'take-up', apply a second layer of adhesive mortar to produce a sandwich approximately 6 mm thick totally encapsulating the meshcloth.
Mineral finish: lightly comb scratch to achieve a good mechanical key.
Synthetic finish: sponge finish to achieve a flat surface

Spillages stain and are difficult to remove so:

• protect vulnerable areas thoroughly
• mix mortar in plastic containers using a paddle mixer to facilitate cleaning
• don't mix too much material at one time
• wear protective clothing.

Good practice
Do not apply:

• If frost is forecast within 24 hours of use
• In damp/wet conditions
• In temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C
• On elevations in direct sunlight or where the substrate is hot
