Application steps

MIXING

For small mortar batches

Important: In order to avoid segregation issues, always mix the total content of one bag. If less than a 30 kg (66 lb) of King® 1-1-6 Plus is required, dry mix - without water – the entire content of a bag in a clean container, take the required amount, and then add water to the amount withdrawn from the mixture.

   

For large mortar batches

Always mix the entire contents of the bag. Mix the King® 1-1-6 Plus with a maximum of 5.2 L (1.32 US gal.) of water per 30 kg (66 lb) bag in a clean mortar mixer. Pour 4.7 L (1.25 US gal.) of water into the mixer and add 30 kg (66 lb) of King® 1-1-6 Plus. Mix for three (3) to five (5) minutes, or five (5) to ten (10) minutes when a colourant is added at the job site. Allow the mortar to stand for a short period of time. Using the remaining water, adjust the mortar to obtain the desired consistency.

   

Once the desired consistency is achieved, it is not recommended to add water to the coloured mortars in order to compensate for water loss caused by evaporation. Adding water may affect the final colour of the product.

APPLICATION

The application of the mortar must comply with the requirements of Sections 6 and 7 of CSA A371.

 

CLEANING

In order to avoid the use of chemicals, it is always advisable to remove as many mortar splashes or stains as possible before the material hardens. Uses water, a piece of burlap or wood. If the use of cleaning products is necessary, be sure to contact the manufacturer of the product to validate the compatibility and the procedure to follow. It is important to mention to the manufacturer that this is a hydrated lime-based mortar to which iron oxide and titanium pigments are added for colouring purposes. Regardless of the technique or product selected, it is essential to preserve the integrity of the mortar. Be sure to clean a test area before proceeding with the work.

  

Clean all tools and equipment after use with water. Once hardened, the product can only be removed mechanically.
