The application guide
A better mix.
A considered finish.
Start with the surface, measure the mix, and follow the guidance on your bag. Here is a practical overview for Imaraplast Dry-mix Mortar.
Measure the water
Use clean water and follow the ratio printed on the current bag or technical data sheet. Measure carefully instead of adjusting by eye.
Mix thoroughly
Use a clean container and suitable mixing equipment. Mix to the consistency described in the product instructions.
Rest and remix
Where the product instructions call for a resting period, allow it before remixing and applying. Avoid adding unmeasured water later.
Apply evenly
Use the appropriate tool for plastering, masonry, screeding or thick-bed tile laying. Maintain the specified application thickness.
Finish and cure
Follow the curing guidance for your application. Protect fresh work from conditions that could affect the finish.
This is a general preparation guide. Follow the current packaging and technical data sheet for water ratios, working time, thickness and curing instructions.
