INSTRUCTION FOR USE AS A GROUT
MIXING
FastSet
™
All-Crete
™
should be mechanically mixed for a
minimum of 3 minutes. WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES,
such as nitrile when handling product.
• Use the minimum amount of water necessary to
provide the desired flow (approximately 13 pints (6.1
L) for a fluid consistency)
• Do not exceed a flow of 20 seconds by ASTM C939
• Add most of the mixing water to the mixer first
• Add the powder to the water and adjust as needed
to achieve the desired consistency
• For a flowable consistency, reduce the water content
to approximately 11 pints (5.2 L) per bag
PLACEMENT
Surfaces to receive the grout must be clean and free
of any type of foreign matter, grease, paint, oil, dust or
efflorescence. In some cases, it may be necessary to
roughen smooth surfaces or etch old ones with acid.
The area should be thoroughly flushed and soaked
with clean water prior to grouting, leaving no standing
water. Place the grout quickly and continuously using
light rodding to eliminate air bubbles.
CURING
A damp cure of at least 1 day is necessary to control
the non-shrink characteristics and maintain strength
levels.
WORKING TIME
When properly mixed to a fluid consistency, FastSet
™
All-Crete
™
will fully comply with ASTM C1107 and retain
a fluid consistency for 20 minutes at 70 degrees F (21
degrees C).
TEMPERATURE
Grout temperature should be maintained at 50 - 90
degrees F (10 - 32 degrees C) for best results. To
achieve specified performance in accordance with
ASTM C1107, maintain temperature as close to 70
degrees F (21 degrees C) as possible. Use cold water
in hot weather and hot water in cold weather to
achieve desired grout temperature. Do not pour grout
if temperature is expected to go below 32 degrees F
(0 degrees C) within a 12 hour period.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AS A REPAIR MORTAR
MIXING
FastSet

should be mechanically mixed
for a minimum of 3 minutes. WEAR IMPERVIOUS
GLOVES, such as nitrile when handling product.
Use the minimum amount of water necessary to
provide a slump of about 3” - 6” (76-152 mm). Add
approximately 7.5 pints (3.5 L) of water to the mixer
first. Add the powder to the water and adjust as
needed to achieve the recommended consistency. For
repairs deeper than 2” (51 mm), add 25 lb (11.3 kg) of
high quality gravel with a top size of 1/2” (13 mm) or
less to the mix. Mix water will vary depending on the
dampness of the aggregate. Do not add more water
than needed to achieve a slump of 3” - 6” (76-152 mm).
SURFACE PREPARATION
• Remove all spalled areas and areas of unsound
concrete and patching
• The hole should have a vertical edge of 1/2” (12.7
mm) or more, formed by use of a pneumatic
jackhammer or sawing. Holes should be chipped out
to create a new, sound substrate
• After the chipping process is completed, the repair
area must be cleaned by water blasting or other
suitable method
• Dampen holes with clean water before patching. No
puddles of water should be left in the hole
PLACEMENT
• The hole should be filled by placing material full
depth, from one end to the other to eliminate part
depth lifts between batches
• Consolidate the material in the hole by hand
tamping or chopping with a shovel. This is
particularly important around the edges
• Screed and finish patches with hand tools to create a
surface finish equivalent to the existing slab finish
CURING
No special curing procedures are required. Curing at
ambient conditions is preferable.
