• Mixing of "Putty"
Mix "Putty" with 36-40% clean water slowly to make a paste. It is very important that water be added to putty to make a mix and not vice versa. Continue the mixing for 10-15 minutes till a uniform paste is formed.It is very important that the mixing of "Putty" should be done thoroughly preferably with mechanical mixer. This will help in easy application, obtaining more coverage and smooth uniform shade. Only prepare a quantity which can be used within 2-3 hours of mixing with water.

• Pre-wetting of the Substrate
It is very important and essential that the surface is wet thoroughly before the application of “putty". The surface should be wet during application. This ensures higher bonding strength, easy workability & higher coverage with the surface
