SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The substrate where the VOTOMASSA SPECIAL BLOCKS SETTING mortar will be applied must be dry, clean, free from dust, oily substances, paint, mortar remains or other conditions that can prevent bonding.

MORTAR PREPARATION

In a clean recipient, place 6.8 to 7.2 liters of water and a bag of VOTOMASSA SPECIAL BLOCKS SETTING. Mix until a homogeneous mortar, without air pockets, is formed. The VOTOMASSA SPECIAL BLOCKS SETTING may be prepared using a mechanical mixer (continuous mixer or by batch).

MORTAR WORKING TIME

The maximum working time for VOTOMASSA SPECIAL BLOCKS SETTING is of 1 hour, as from the beginning of the mixture. During this period the addition of water or of any other product is not recommended. Remix before applying.

MORTAR APPLICATION

Spread the mortar on the blocks or bricks. When setting the blocks or bricks, press them for good mortar bonding to the block or brick. Immediately after, remove the excess mortar on the sides with the margin trowel. The setting must be carried out using dry pieces, with joint thickness of, at least 1 cm for the conventional (margin trowel) or rationalized (squirt bottle or channel) process.
