HOW TO USE

Mixing

For mechanical mixing, add to the mixing container 7.6-8.8 liters of water for each 20kg bag of Vetonit Putty WR. Add the powder to the water and mix with a mechanical plaster mixer or a low-speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle. Mix for 3-4 minutes until achieving a uniform, lump-free consistency.

Leave the mixed material to stand for 10 min and briefly remix without adding water.

Mix small batch quantities manually for approximately 1-2 min, or until achieving a when a homogenous mix.

When required, add 1 liter of Vetonit Bond 2 to the mixing water and adjust the water requirement for each 20kg bag of Vetonit Putty WR accordingly. Follow the same mixing procedure as above.

Use the mixed material within 3 hours. Do not add water once the mixed filler mortar starts to stiffen or harden.

Application

Generally, apply Vetonit Putty WR is in single or double coats.

Apply Vetonit Putty WR to the substrate by pressing the putty firmly onto it. Use a flat trowel to level the material to a smooth finish.

Apply a second coat if necessary once the first coat initially sets.

After applying Vetonit Putty WR, it is recommended to apply one coat of alkali-resistant primer followed by two coats of acrylic emulsion paint or other suitable coatings.

Curing

Vetonit Putty WR is self-curing, and it does not require water treatment. However, when using Vetonit Putty WR as a final finish, it is recommended to apply a single Bond Pure coat. The bonding agent will perform as a surface enhancer and a curing compound that will naturally disintegrate with time.

Cleaning

Clean all tools immediately after finishing by water. Clean the hardened materials mechanically.
