MASTICE 2000

The area to be glued or filled must be clean, perfectly dry and dust free. Add 2% of paste hardener in weight to the mastic, mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained and apply with a spatula on horizontal or vertical surface. In cold season, it is possible to increase quantity of hardener up to 3%. Once hardened after a couple of hours, the mastic can be grinded and polished. For materials with porosity or very big holes (Travertine) we suggest to make a second application.

Suggestion for use and recommendations:

• - The use of 4% higher catalyst reduces the adhesiveness of the product. Also it reduces the workability time and can cause a color change.
• - Never catalyze a whole can of putty in a time to prevent the mass effect which accelerates the hardening of the product.
• - The polyester resins can be used outside, however, due to numerous factors (moisture, temperature changes, frost and thaw cycles) may lose their mechanical and chemical characteristics.
• - The use of catalyst lower than 1% and / or low temperatures (below 5 ° C) retards the curing of the product.
• - The temperature is a very important variable in the use of thermosetting products such as polyester putty; it acts in a manner inversely proportional to hardening of the product. For more information check the technical specifications of the catalyst.
•  In case it is desired to pigment the mastic, to add the dye to reach the desired hue and then add the catalyst.
• - The use of dye in 2% higher dough affect the adhesiveness of the product.
• - The product after being mixed with the catalyst, can be worked for a maximum period of between 3 and 15 minutes (20 ° C).
• - The stucco material can be handled after 20 minutes after grouting.
• Before use read the recommendations printed on the label and always carry out a preliminary test.
