MIXING
Mix SikaLatex® with the correct amount of water to produce a gauging solution.
Pour part of the gauging solution into a suitable mixing container. While stirring slowly, add the cement-sand mix to the gauging solution and mix thoroughly until a smooth, uniform and lump-free mix is achieved. Within the mixing time add additional gauging solution to adjust to the desired consistency.
