maximum when mixed with diluted Planipatch Plus

(B). Blend into the surrounding area and finish to the

required smoothness.

3. Allow at least 60 minutes to dry. Finish with the final

floor covering chosen.

Two-Coat Application Method

1. Select an appropriate flat-edged steel trowel.

2. First coat: Immediately apply mixture of Planipatch

and full-strength Planipatch Plus (C) to the substrate

according to a desired thickness, from 1/16" to 1/8" (1,5

to 3 mm). Blend into the surrounding area and finish to the

required smoothness. Allow to dry completely.

3. Second coat: Immediately apply mixture of Planipatch

and diluted Planipatch Plus (B) to the substrate according

to the desired thickness, from 1/32" to 1/4" (1 to 6 mm).

Ensure that all areas with a first coat are completely covered

by a second coat. Allow at least 60 minutes to dry; thicker

applications may require longer drying times before the

application of flooring adhesives.

CLEANUP

Clean tools and equipment with water while product is still

wet/fresh. Use mechanical means to remove cured product.

PROTECTION

• Provide for dry, heated storage on site and deliver materials

at least 24 hours before work begins.

• Protect from traffic, dirt or dust from other trades until

the final installation of the floor covering.

• Because temperature and humidity (during and after

tile installation) affect the final curing time, allow

for extended periods of cure and protection when

temperatures drop below 60°F (16°C) and/or when the

relative humidity is higher than 70%.
