Instructions For Use
Preparation
Laitance and all loose material including dust, oil and grease should be removed in order to produce a sound substrate. The work area should be pre-wetted taking care to remove any standing water before placing the Eprobed mortar.
Mixing
To achieve the most consistent mortar mix, mechanical mixing is recommended. Hand mixing is suitable but care should be taken to ensure that the mix is fully wetted out without the use of excess water. Mechanical mixing may be carried out in a suitable vessel using a slow speed high torque drill and Mortar Stirrer. Hand mixing may be carried out using a clean spot board or wheelbarrow.
Each 25kg bag of Eprobed requires 3.0 to 3.5 litres of water to give a mortar consistency. Excess water should not be added. Once setting of the mortar has commenced, further mixing should not be used to rework the mix.
The mortar should be placed within approximately 10 minutes of mixing. The working time may be extended in cold ambient conditions and maybe slightly shortened in hot ambient conditions.

Placing
Place the mixed mortar onto the prepared surface and lower the frame or unit onto the mortar and knock down onto the pre-set shims to line and level. The bed thickness applied in a single application should be between 10mm to75mm. thicker support beds can be achieved by applying further material as soon as the lower bed has hardened sufficiently not to distort under the additional work.
The placed mortar will have hardened sufficiently to carry out further work, such as haunching, up to 60 minutes depending on the surrounding ambient conditions.

Curing
No special curing is required at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C. For placing at temperatures outside this range contact the Technical Service Department.
Precautions: Health and Safety
Eprobed is alkaline when mixed with water and should not come into contact with skin or eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust during mixing and wear safety glasses, dust mask and gloves. If skin contact occurs wash thoroughly with clean water. Should eye contact occur rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.
