Constraints
The quality of application of this material depends on suitable operative skills and product familiarity.
Restrictions on weather conditions during application and curing must be respected.
Sound trade practices and printed instructions must be followed.
Good access and appropriate protection must be provided.
Mixing
Mix weber.rend TTS by adding clean water only to achieve workability. This mortar can be made up in any batch size desired with little wastage because it is pre-mixed dry.
Add no other material unless directed. Wet down scratched undercoat surface with water spray, as required, to control suction.
To ensure colour consistency, the materials required for complete and adjoining panels should be of the same batch number or be thoroughly mixed together before use.
Application
Apply weber.rend TTS 6 - 8 mm thick to prepared undercoat in accordance with BS 5262 and finish smooth using float and sponge.
or
Apply weber.rend TTS 8 - 10 mm thick to prepared undercoat. Float finish to produce a smooth even surface plane. Use a 'derby' if necessary to produce even thickness and flatness. When mortar has taken up sufficiently after several hours drying (usually the following day) and when larger stones spring easily from the surface, texture the surface using a scratching pad to produce an even appearance. The pad is used lightly in a circular motion. Remove all surface 'glut' and scratch the entire surface, taking care not to miss areas.
When completed, weber.rend TTS should have a minimum thickness of 6mm. Take care not to damage the surface, especially at corners and with scaffolding or ladders.
Carefully brush down the surface of the scraped finish using a soft bristle brush.
Arrises can be dealt with:
a) Using a mitred rule, which is slow and needs skill, but is very effective.
b) Using rigid PVC corner beads.
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
Storage and Shelf life
When stored unopened in a dry place at temperatures above 5°C, shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.
