2. Scarify substrate w/toothed chisel to provide greater surface area for bond.
Thoroughly clean substrate w/clean water and natural bristle brush to remove all
debris dusr, grease and/or laitance that may prevent proper adhesive.

3. Moisten porous substrates until glisten wet at vertical applications and well dampened
surface (w/no ponding water) at horizontal applications.
4. Mix repair mortar as per manufacturer's directions to the consistency of wet putty,
a.k.a. the 'peanut butter’ coat. Apply the 'peanut butter’ coat to the moistened
substrate appx. 1/8" thick. NB. ensure ‘peanut butter’ coat is applied to shoulders of
repair.

5. Whilst 'peanut butter’ coat is stil] wet, apply the (drier) repair mortar mixed according
to manufacturer's directions build up the material beyond the surface of the original
material (1/8" min.)

1/8" proud. Allow mortar to dry before final finishing. Clean around edge of patch
w/sponge and clean water to remove €xcess mortar from adjacent masonry.

7. After achieving initial set, when repair mortar has consistency of slightly damp sand,
scrape away excess mortar a little at a time until desired profile is reached.
8. During curing process keep patch and adjacent masonry damp by misting periodically

and shading for several days after installation, according to ambient conditions.
9. Remove uncured mortar from perimeter of patch w/sponage and clean water several
times before it dries to prevent ‘halo’ effect at adjacent masonry.
NB. Provide appx. 4"x4" sample in place for engineer's review.
