Non-sag: for use on walls and floor.

Minimizes slump.

Easy to apply creamy consistency.

Interior and exterior use.

3-hour pot life.
Coverage: Varies with texture of substrate surface:

1/4” x 1/4” (6 mm) sq. notch trowel = 90 ft² (8.4 m²) per bag.

1/4” x 3/8” (6 mm x 9 mm) sq. notch trowel = 65 ft² (6 m²) per bag.

1/2” x 1/2” (12 mm) sq. notch trowel = 45 ft² (4.2 m²) per bag.
Water Ratio: 5 1/4 - 6 quarts (4.7 - 5.6 L) of clean water per bag; or

2 1/2 parts powder to 1 part water by volume (small batches)
