Patching Mortar for Terra Cotta and Concrete Restoration

DESCRIPTION:
THIN-FILL 55 is a latex-modified reprofiling mortar for vertical and non-traffic bearing horizontal masonry and concrete surfaces. THIN-FILL 55 allows application of thin-section patches of 1/32 to 1/4 inch depth while maintaining excellent adhesion, strength, breathability and resistance to cracking.
THIN-FILL 55 provides smooth finishes which can also be further polished to repair glazed terra cotta or polished stone profiles. Optional subsequent application of Aquathane UA210 NCL glaze replacement coatings allows close duplication of existing terra cotta and stone finishes.

FEATURES:
Ultra Fine texture for smooth finishing and thin-section repair
Can be further polished with 400 Grit sandpaper to achieve near-glaze texture
Tough, Durable, Breathable, Low Modulus
Available in Standard Grey, White and Custom Colors
Non-Silica fine aggregates used to avoid respirable toxic silica handling

APPLICATION:
1. Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, rough, damp or dry, and free of form oil, curing compounds, grease, oil, dirt, efflorescence, coatings or other materials which may hinder adhesion. Dampen surfaces with clean water or prime with a slightly thinned brush coat of THIN-FILL 55 before patching, but do not apply over standing or seeping water.
2. Mixing: While mixing, add Part A latex to THIN-FILL 55, and mix to a stiff paste consistency. Mix approximately 1 gallon of liquid per 1/2-cubic foot bag. Mix for 4 minutes using low speed (250 rpm) drill mixer.
3. Application: Mix only what will be applied within 20 - 40 minutes. Mixes should not be retempered by repeated latex or water addition.
Apply using standard plastering tools, and work into surface profile to assure complete filling and bond. For patches over 1/4 inch depth use Custom SYSTEM 45.
Depending on weather and working conditions, material reaches initial set in 1 - 4 hours. Keep patches damp by misting with clean water after initial set, when working in hot, dry, windy conditions. Do not wet cure for more than 8 hours. Do not subject to water immersion. Finish after material reaches "thumbprint" hardness. Material may be sanded or polished after set.
