Mixing Instructions: Mix only the amount that can be applied within the set time. Use clean, drinkable water and a plastic container for easy cleaning. Gradually add the compound to water, mix until lump-free, let it soak for one minute, then remix to a smooth consistency. Avoid high-speed mixing to prevent shortening the working time.

Estimated Working Times: Working time is the period the product is usable for application, while setting time is when the product hardens enough for another layer. Choose the compound based on these times to match project needs.

Limitations:

Do not apply over moist surfaces
Use only clean water
Clean tools between batches
Avoid high-speed mixing
Do not add water or remix after thickening
Store in dry conditions; high humidity reduces shelf life
Maintain minimum 50˚F (10˚C) during application

Frequently Asked Questions:

Lumpy product: Ensure compound is added to water and allowed to soak before remixing.
Faster setting: Check for dirty tools or excessive mixing.
Slower setting: Avoid using too much or impure water.
Weak strength: Ensure correct water amount and purity.
