cracking. Cracking, such as hair line cracking cannot be considered as a product defect or installation failure. For large scale areas that require deeper applications, the following recommendations can be used to minimize material cost: ▪ 1. The material can be extended by adding up to 30 % of 20/30 grade sand during mixing to achieve up to 2” in one lift. A reduction in flow, approximately 15 %, can be expected. The final layer should be neat to allow for a smooth finished floor.
