Surface Preparation

New cement render, masonry and concrete surfaces

New cement render, masonry and concrete surfaces should be allowed to cure for 28 days. Off form concrete should be thoroughly cleaned by acid etching, water or sand blasting to ensure all bond breaker oils are removed. All masonry surfaces should be primed with Armawall Primer (thinned 50-100% with water) prior to the application of Armawall Trowel-On. Seal tilt slab concrete with Armawall Sealer/Bonder thinned 50% with GTA007 to ensure adhesion of topcoats.

Previously painted surfaces – in sound condition

Previously painted surfaces in sound condition should be scrubbed down with detergent and fresh water, fresh water washed and allowed to dry.

Previously painted enamel surfaces

Previously painted enamel surfaces should be undercoated with Taubmans Tradecoat. Surface irregularities such as blow holes and profile defects may require patching with Armawall Filler or Patch prior to system application.

Application

This product is applied with a steel trowel and scratched off vertically (or using a circular motion “swirl”) with a polystyrene float to produce the texture finish.

Cleanup

Water, away from drains and watercourses.

Stirring

Stir Armawall Trowel-On prior to use.

Temperature

Avoid application when temperature is below 10°C and above 35°C.
