5. All surfaces that will come in contact with the concrete mix should be
brought to a SSD (Surface Saturated Dry) condition before application of the
material.
6. Clean and remove all loose materials and debris before proceeding.
7. Place the mixed concrete mix into the area that is being repaired.
8. Use a float to remove any surface imperfections.
Mixing:
1. Empty contents of Sakrete High Strength Concrete into a wheelbarrow or
mortar pan forming a crater in the center of the dry mix for the addition of
clean potable water. Projects requiring multiple bags are mixed much easier
with a mechanical concrete mixer.
2. Add clean potable water (see table above for water amounts) or enough to
achieve a workable mix. Add additional water if needed but AVOID A
SOUPY MIX. Excess water reduces strength and durability and can cause
cracking, dusting or scaling.
Curing:
1. Proper curing is critical for sound results. Curing means maintaining proper
moisture and temperature. The concrete must be kept continuously moist for
several days.
2. Covering the concrete slab with plastic is a practical way to help retain
moisture. Place plastic after concrete has set.
3. If surface begins to appear dry remove the plastic moisten the surface and
replace the plastic.
4. New concrete can be opened to foot traffic in 24 hours and vehicular traffic
in 72 hours.
Precautions:
Air, mix and substrate temperatures should be between 40°F (4°C) and
90°F (32°C) with no rain in the forecast within 24 hours of application. For
applications outside this range of temperatures and conditions, contact
Sakrete Technical Service.
