Sika Mix&Go®

At +20 °C (68 °F), pot life lasts maximum 25 minutes after mixing - after this time do not try to remix with water. At lower temperatures, pot life is longer, and it is shorter at higher temperatures.

Avoid application in direct sun and/or strong wind. And even after it, protect the fresh mortar from direct sunlight, wind, rain or frost. Finally, the rain resistance at 20 °C (68 °F) is approximately 5 hours.

Sika® Mix&Go® can be applied with the spatula or with a traditional trowel. Place the repair mortar with the spatula, pressing it well into the prepared and pre-wetted substrate. Finishing can be carried out with a stiff sponge (slightly wetted) or with a polystyrene board, as soon as the mortar has started to ‘‘stiffen’’.

Add 0.2 L (7 US fl. oz) of water into the bag. Press the bag to remove excess air and then close tightly. Mix the bag between the hands for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking the bag from time to time until a uniform mortar consistency is achieved. Open or cut the bag at the marked level - and the mortar is ready to be applied.

Add 0.2 L (7 US fl. oz) of water per bag. Do not add additional water during surface finishing as this will cause discolouration and cracking.

The substrate must be clean, sound and free of all paints, loose and friable debris, cement laitance, oil and grease and material which would prevent or reduce bond. The substrate must be wire brushed and all dust removed. Thoroughly pre-wet the repair area, avoiding standing water, before patching.

Minimum and maximum ambient and surface temperatures at the time of application are  +5 °C (41 °F) min. / +30 °C (86 °F) max.

1 bag yields approximately 0.7 L (23.7 fl oz. US) of mortar. Coverage depends on the substrate roughness and thickness of mortar applied.
