Applications & Uses

- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Surface Preparation
As a Weather Resistive Barrier / Base Coat / Adhesive
Insulation Board - Insulation must be rasped and free of all bond inhibiting materials.
Approved Substrate - Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of frost, damage and all bond inhibiting materials, including dirt, efflorescence, laitance, form oil and other foreign matter. Loose or damaged material must be removed by water blasting, sandblasting or mechanical wire brushing and repaired.
Apply Tique Deco-Prep to approved substrate by roller or spray as per Tique Details.
- Application
Apply only to sound and clean, dry, properly prepared, frost-free surfaces.
As a Weather Resistive Barrier / Base Coat - Apply with a stainless steel trowel to an approximate thickness of 1/8" (3 mm). Work horizontally or vertically in strips of 40” (1 m) and immediately embed Tique Reinforcing Mesh in wet base coat by troweling from the center to the edges of the mesh. Avoid wrinkles in the mesh and smooth the base coat to eliminate trowel marks. Minimum recommended dry thickness of the reinforced base coat is 1/16" (1.6 mm) when dry. Reapply additional base coat if necessary to achieve minimum thickness as soon as the first application is dry. Embedded mesh in base coat should not be visible.
Crack Repair - Embed Tique Reinforcing Mesh centered over the crack in Tique Reinforcing Mesh and feather along edges.
As a High Build Coat - Apply with a stainless steel trowel to a maximum thickness of 3/8" to the prepared surface.
Curing/Drying - Dries within 24 hours under normal drying conditions [70ºF (21ºC), 50% RH]. Allow additional drying time during cold, humid, or wet weather until insulation board is fully adhered before rasping, and before application of primer or finish to hardened Base Coat. Protect from rain, freezing and continuous high humidity until completely dry. Tique recommends using Tique Primer prior to application of finish.
Clean Up - Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Dried material can only be removed mechanically.
- Coverage
As an Adhesive / Base Coat - Coverage will vary based on substrate and substrate condition.
Embedding Coat - 250 ft² (23.2 m²) 1/16” thickness
Weather Resistive Barrier / Base Coat - 250 ft² (23.2 m²) per pail 1/16” thickness
Coverages may vary depending on adhesive / basecoat application technique and surface conditions.
- Mixing
Mix equal parts of Tique Ground Coat to Type 1 Portland cement by weight. Mix with a clean, rustfree electric drill and paddle. Allow to set approximately five minutes, adjust mix if necessary by adding up to 8 fl. oz. (0.24 L) of water, (adjusting for trowelability) and remix to a uniform consistency. Avoid re-tempering after mixing of product.
- Limitations
- Use Tique Ground Coat only when surface and ambient temperatures are above 40°F (4°C) and below 100°F (38°C) during application and drying period.
- Sloped surfaces: Refer to Tique details.
- Tique Ground Coat used on weather-exposed horizontal: Contact Tique Technical Service.
- Ground Coat should not be used as a finish coating.
