F R P C o n c e n t r a t eCOVERAGE:Depending on the condition of substrateand the thickness of application,approximate coverages are:At 3/8" (9.5mm): 80 ft 2 (7.3m 2 ) perbag.At 5/8" (16mm): 50 ft 2 (4.6m 2 ) perbag.At 3/4" (19mm): 40 ft 2 (3.6m 2 ) perbag.PACKAGING:80 lb (36 kg) net weight in a multiwall,water-resistant bag.Storage: Store off ground and protectfrom rain and moisture.Shelf life: Six months if protectedfrom sun, freezing and moisture.WORKING TIME:Sets in 30–45 minutes after mixing,depending on conditions.Job nameC o n t r a c t o rD a t eSubmittal Appro v a l s :(Stamps or Signature s )SURFACE PREPARATION: On masonry and concrete apply onlyto surfaces that are sound, clean, dry,unpainted, and free of any residuewhich may affect the ability of FRPConcentrate to bond to the surface.On lathed construction, apply tolathing installed in accordance withASTM C 1063. Cover wood-basedsheathings with two layers of “10minute” or one layer of “60 minute”grade D building paper. Othersheathed substrates require one layerof “10 minute” Grade D paper.Do not apply to substrates which arefrozen or contain frost or ice.Apply to surface prepared as for portlandcement plaster.MIXING:Start with approximately 3 gallons ofclean potable water. Add approximately60 lb of the ASTM C 897sand. Add one bag of Surewall FRPConcentrate. Add remaining sandalong with additional water - approximately1–3 gallons for workability.Total amount of sand equals200–240 lb. Allow the material toslake then break set. If needed, addwater for workability.Use cool, clean water; let hose run toclear it of hot water.Sand: Sample and test in accordancewith ASTM C144, and gradewithin the following limits*:No. 4 -- 0No. 8 0 10No. 18 10 40No. 30 30 65No. 50 70 90No. 100 95 100*Retained on U.S. Standard Sieve. Percent retainedby weight + 2%.No additives of any kind, such asPortland cement, lime, rapid binders,antifreeze, accelerators, etc. shouldbe added under any circumstances.APPLICATION: Apply by hand trowel or plaster gun toa minimum 3/8" (9.5mm) thickness.The maximum thickness applied inone pass is 5/8" (16mm).For portland cement–based stuccofinish, lightly moisten the surface ofFRP Concentrate before application.Texture may be applied as soon asbase has set sufficiently to receive it.FRP Concentrate should be keptmoist by fogging with water for atleast 24 hours after application, orlonger in dry weather.Start light fogging after initial set of1–2 hours.Allow FRP Concentrate to dry thoroughlybefore applying acrylic primersor finishes.LIMITATIONS: All FRP Concentrate materialsdescribed should not be applied ifambient temperatures cannot be keptabove 35°F (2°C) during applicationand drying periods. Prior to installation,the wall should be free of residualmoisture.For installation in temperatures lessthan 35°F, supplementary heat mustbe provided.FRP Concentrate should not beapplied if ambient temperature willexceed 120°F (49°C) within 24 hoursof application.Protect plaster from uneven andexcessive evaporation during hot, dryweather.Architectural Sales, I nc.143 S.
