- Application Method
- Uses
Shurkote wb is primarily used as a base coat to embed reinforcing mesh, as well as adhering EPS insulation board to approved substrates.
- Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and free of bonding-inhibiting materials such as dirt, dust, rust, grease, oil, efflorescence, mildew, fungus, form-release agents or any other contami- nants. Remove and repair any loose paint, mortar, stucco, concrete or masonry by water blasting, sand blasting, scraping or using a wire brush. Substrate should be sound and securely fastened.
- Coverage
Approximate coverage as an adhesive for adhering EPS insulation board is 140 sq. ft.
Approximate coverage for embeding reinforcing mesh is 130 sq. ft.
- Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use. Remove all debris from the surrounding areas immediately following the application process.
- Mixing
Mix Shurkote wb and pour 1/2 (25 lbs) of mixed product into a clean plastic pail. Mix 25 lbs. of Type I-II Portland Cement into each pail, adding cement slowly and mixing throughly. Water may be added to Shurkote wb to assist workability (up to 1 quarter of water). Allow mixture to set for 5 minutes. Re-mix and temper with a small amount of water for workability.
- Application
The EPS surface must be rasped flat with no irregularities greater than 1/16” in a 4’ span.
Back wrap: complete the back wrapping of all exposed edges of the EPS insulation board prior to embedding the reinforcing mesh over wall surface.
To embed Mesh: Apply Shurkote db with stainless steel trowel uniformly to the entire insulation board surface at approximately 3/32”. Immediately place reinforcing mesh against the wet Foam-kote avoiding wrinkles, trowel from the center outward until mesh is completely embeded. The mesh should be continuous at all corners and lapped or butted in accordance with Shurkote’s recommendations. Thickness of product should be enough to completely hide and embed the reinforcing mesh.
As an adhesive: For application over approved sheathing, using a stainless notch trowel, (3/8’ x 3/8” x 3/8”) apply the mixed shall stand out 3/8” from the surface of the insulation board. Apply Shurkote wb with the ribbons running vertical across the 2” dimension of the insulation board.
- Curing
Shurkote wb needs to be protected from rain and allowed to cure for at least 24 hours.
- Limitations
Shurkote wb should be applied when surface and ambient conditions are between 40ºF and 110ºF during application and cure time. Weather conditions may afect drying time.
