- Surface Preparation
Adhesive Preparation:
Tique Liquid Weather Resistive Barrier: ensure surface is clean, dry and free of surface contamination. Install insulation board with adhesive within 30 days of the application of Tique Liquid Weather Resistive Barrier, or clean the surface and recoat with Tique Liquid Weather Resistive Barrier.
Concrete or Masonry - 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. Avoid application over irregular surfaces. Resurface, patch or level surfaces to required tolerance and smoothness with appropriate Tique leveling materials.
Glass Mat Gypsum Sheathing in Compliance with ASTM C 1177 - Ensure surface is clean, dry and free of surface contamination. Sheathing must be installed and protected in accordance with manufacturer’s and building code requirements. Remove and replace weather damaged sheathing. Avoid application over irregular, out of plane surfaces. Install insulation board with adhesive within 30 days of installation of the sheathing.
As a Base Coat
Insulation Board - Insulation must be rasped and free of all bond inhibiting materials.
Concrete or Masonry - 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.
- Mixing
Mix equal parts of Tique Liquid Base Coat / Adhesive to Type I/ II Portland cement by weight. Mix with a clean, rust-free 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, and remix to a uniform consistency. Avoid retempering after mixing of product.
- Application
Apply only to sound and clean, dry, properly prepared, frost-free surfaces.
As an Adhesive - Apply to the back of the insulation board with the appropriate size notched trowel. Form uniform ribbons of adhesive parallel to the short dimension of the board so the ribbons are oriented vertically in relation to the plane of the wall. Immediately install the board horizontally with staggered joints and apply firm uniform pressure over the entire board surface. Do not delay installation once adhesive is applied.
As a 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.As a Skim Coat - Apply with a stainless steel trowel to a maximum thickness of 1/16" 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 Tique Liquid 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
100 - 125 ft² (9.3 - 11.6 m²) per pail, when used for both adhesive and base coat applications.
Adhesive over sheathing and smooth masonry: 200 - 250 ft² (18.6 - 23.2 m²) per pail, application with U-notched trowel having 1 - 1/2" (38.1mm) spread between notches; 3/8" x 1/2" notch.
As an adhesive over rough or uneven masonry: Coverage will vary based on surface condition of masonry.
As a base coat: 165 - 250 ft² (15.3 - 23.2m²) per pail.
As a skim coat: 185 - 250 ft² (17.2 - 23.2m²) per pail.
Coverages may vary depending on application technique and surface conditions.
- Limitations
Use Tique Liquid Base Coat only when surface and ambient temperatures are above 40°F (4°C) during application and drying period.
Sloped surfaces: Refer to Tique details.
Tique Liquid Base Coat should not be used on weather-exposed horizontal or below grade surfaces or where immersion in water may occur.
Prevent rapid loss of moisture from exposure to direct sun, wind and high temperatures.
Tique Liquid Base Coat should not be used as a finish coating.
