Substrate must be structurally sound, clean & free from loose concrete, dirt, form oil & other contaminants. Prior to application, wet substrate well with clean water using a sponge or a roller brush. For outdoor application & during extreme hot weather conditions, such as noon time or summer, wet substrate very well and more frequently before applying skimcoat.

1. Mixing In a clean non-absorptive pail (plastic or galvanized iron), mix clean water with Zemcoat. Mixture should attain a smooth, creamy & lump-free consistency. Use a mixing torque for best results. Mixing time: 2 – 3 minutes. Let mixture rest for 15 minutes. Mix again brieftly before use.

Do not add additional water after final mix.


2. Application While the substrate is still damp, apply Zemcoat to desired application thickness (0 – 5mm) using a steel trowel. Pot Life: 3 – 4 hours. Setting time: 30 minutes. Curing time: 24 hours. If there is a need to increase the application thickness, apply a second coat just before the first coat is about to set. TIP: Zemcoat has set when the finish looks matte. If needed, sprinkle a small amount of water when the surface is about to set, then smoothen to the desired finish.
