How to Use
MOULD PREPARATION
1) Ensure the mould is thoroughly clean before using CFR-WB3™:
a) Scrub the mould using a degreaser / solvent / purposed made cleaner, with a brush / non-scratch scrubbing pad, then polish off all residue with absorbent cloths before it dries.
b) Repeat as necessary until mould is thoroughly clean and allow to dry fully.
2) Conditioning clean mould: Depending on the grade, finish and condition of the mould / form it might be necessary to apply a precoat of CFR-WB3™ and allow it to dry, then apply a second coat as the mould release agent. This is only for the first pour.
3) Cleaning the mould between pours: After each pour thoroughly remove all dry concrete residue / dust using brushes, cloths etc, paying attention to corners, nooks and crannies, before CFR-WB3™ is applied for the next pour.
HOW TO APPLY
1) Apply CFR-WB3™ with an airless sprayer, which achieves a fine mist and allows even coating of the surface.
2) Ensure all of the mould / form surfaces are covered with an even, thin coating of CFR- WB3™.
3) Be careful to avoid concentration or pooling of the product or drips. On vertical surfaces do not over-apply – so you avoid the product running or dripping.
4) After application allow the product to dry fully. Drying time depends on ambient temperature and humidity. Once a clear film is left on the mould, the mould is ready for concrete.
5) NOTE – It is highly recommended to experiment with mould surface preparation, spray application and drying time to achieve the best result before tackling a large project.
6) NOTE – It is highly recommended that application method, drying time and mould surface preparation be thoroughly examined to determine the applicable production parameters – i.e. experiment to achieve the best result before tackling a large project.
