XS PROCAST PLUS MIXING & APPLICATION
Single Bag Batches
- Utilize a hand held concrete mixer with a helical (spiral) mixer blade, such as a Collomix Xo1-KR or larger. Add desired amount of clean mix water into a 5 gallon (or larger) bucket.
- If integral color is desired, add 2packs of Surecrete SC Color into water and thoroughly mix. Please note that the amount of mix water that is used will determine the final color of the material.
- Begin by adding 1/3 of the XS PROCAST PLUS mix into your bucket and mixing until a flowable, lump free mixture is created.
- Scrape the sides of the pail, and then continue to add XS PROCAST PLUS and mix for 2-3 minutes.
- If the material needs to be loosened up, you can add small amounts of water until the consistency you are looking for is achieved, provided you do not exceed 4.5 quarts for the entire 50 pound bag. Mix water ratios beyond the maximum 4.5 quarts per 50 pound bag will result in material that will not perform as designed.
- If your project requires multiple bags and you are using SC Color packs, consider pre mixing all the color in a large vessel, and draw your colored mix water from this vessel in precise quantities to ensure color consistency from batch to batch. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you constantly agitate this colored mix water during the process to ensure that the pigments stay in solution and do not settle to the bottom.
