Instructions

Mixing

  1. Prepare each bag in a 5 gallon(19 liter) container, which is clean and free of foreign substances. Do not use a container which has contained or been cleaned with any petroleum- based product.
  2. Begin with 1.5 gallons (5.6 liters) of clean potable water Prepare each bag in a 5- gallon (19 liter) container,.
  3. Slowly add the product in small increments to the water while mixing well with a jiffy-type mixer to a homogenous consistency.
  4. Mix for a minimum of 3 to 5 minutes. Additional water or material may be added to adjust workability and desired consistency.
  5. Let mixed material stand to allow it to take it’s initial set for 5 – 10 minutes.
  6. Re-mix the material adding enough water to reach the desired consistency. Do not over mix.
Application
  1. For use as a base coat BA-75 shall be applied so as to achieve reinforcing fabric embedment sufficient enough so that no fabric color is visible, then trowel smooth. Allow the BA-75 to completely cure (24 hours is recommended) before finish is applied.
  2. For use as an adhesive we recommend the notched trowel method. Apply to the back of EPS board with a stainless steel notched trowel with ½” notches spaced 2” apart. The notches are to run vertical on the wall creating a vertical drainage plane.
  3. For use as a leveling coat, apply the material to the approved substrate needing leveling. Application method may vary with substrate and project conditions. Do not exceed 3/16” thickness per application.
