Field Control

A field setting-time test can be made as follows:

1. Use a waxed paper cup or a clean can for a
mixing container.
2. Pour about 1 in. of water into the container.
3. Take a Cal-Seal sample equal to about twice the
volume of water from the center of the bag with
a bag thief, or cut the bag.
4. Note the time before adding the Cal-Seal to
water.
5. Gradually sift the Cal-Seal into the water until
all the water is absorbed.
6. Allow Cal-Seal to stand undisturbed until it is
hard enough to support a sharp pencil or stick
under slight pressure. The elapsed time from
the start of the mixing until the sample is hard is
the setting time.
