QUIKRETE® Anchoring Cement expands

as it cure to become stronger than

ordinary concrete when mounting or

anchoring objects in concrete or masonry.

Depending on the amount of water used,

QUIKRETE® Anchoring Cement can be

poured like syrup or worked like putty. It

normally sets in 10 to 30 minutes. After

an hour or so, QUIKRETEâ Anchoring

Cement will have set sufficiently to screw

most types of anchor bolts home. For extreme loads, wait 2 hours

before applying load to the anchor. Within 24 hours, QUIKRETE®

Anchoring Cement reaches pull-out strength of 12,500 psi. After 28

days, pull-out strength can reach 15,000 psi.

Floor Mountings

Anchoring Cement's exceptional strength and quick-setting

characteristics are ideal for fastening heavy-duty industrial machinery.

But its simple application makes it just as anchoring bolts, posts,

wrough

-iron railing, signs, workshop machines, and door stops.

For floor mountings and other horizontal applications, prepare the

QUIKRETE® Anchoring Cement to a pourable consistency by mixing

4-to-5 parts cement with 1 part water.

• Star drill and hammer or ½" electric drill with masonry bit

• Small brush

Anchoring

1. Mark the location of the holes for the bolts.

2. Make at least 1" larger than the diamete of the objects to be

anchored. For large objects, such as metal pipes of fence posts, use

a diamond-edge cold chisel and a small sledgehammer to make the

hole. The hole must be at least 2" deep.

3. Brush all the dirt, dust, and other loose material from the hole. Dampen the interior of the hole. 4. Insert the object to be anchored and pour the prepared mix into the hole to the surface level. Anchoring Cement can also be packed in with a towel; when using this method, be sure to completely fill the hole. 5. Hold the object being anchored in place until the mix begins to stiffen. This will depend on the amount of water used to prepare the mix. 6.

Apply a coat of QUIKRETE® Acrylic Concrete Cure & Seal to all outside projects or areas exposed to dampness or moisture after the mix obtains a final set. Use QUIKRETE® Concrete And Asphalt Cleaner to make certain that any oil or other film that could prevent bonding has been cleaned from the hole.

5. Hold the bolt or hook in place until the mix begins to stiffen. (It generally takes only a few minutes. Mix prepared with large amounts of water will take longer). 6. After all the bolts have set for about 45 minutes, attach any mounting brackets that your project requires. Except for the most unusually heavy objects, mounting can be done after a few hours. For Best Results • • Use only clean water and containers to prepare the mix.
