- How To Mix
The mixing ratio is: by volume: 3 parts powder with 1 part water. 50 lb powder with 1.5 - 1.9 gallons of water (22.7 kg powder with 6.1 - 7.3 liters of water).

If it looks like the mixture is setting, keep moving it with the mixer until it gets good. Do not add more water.
- Application
AQUAFIN-IC should not be applied if the temperature is below 40oF (5o C) or to a surface that is frozen. It should not be applied to a dry surface. HORIZONTAL SURFACES AND JOINTS CONSTRUCTION A. Method of applying dry spray, mechanical flat or flat wood (float wood): A dry spray test is recommended. before the current application. When the concrete is ready to pass the mechanical flat sprays the specified amount of dry AQUAFIN-IC. This can be done at hand or with a suitable spray and then pass the flat or floats to space the AQUAFIN-IC even. Keep passing the plane or it floats in its normal way. B. Sub Slabs / Tied Slabs / Construction Joints: Before throwing a new slab against another or by on top of another slab wets the existing surface and apply AQUAFIN-IC as a grout or spray dry. C. Application by brush or spray: NOTE: The surface of the slab must be porous with a wooden fleet finish or brush. Applies one coat in the specified amount of AQUAFIN-IC in grout consistency. VERTICAL SURFACES AND JOINTS CONSTRUCTION A. Application by brush: Apply two coats in the specified amount of AQUAFIN-IC in grout consistency. Use a typical mason's brush watering the material evenly. apply the second hand before the first coat to dry. B. Spray Application: AQUAFIN-IC can be applied with equipment compressed air sprayer manufactured for spray mortar. Apply in one or two coats according to specifications using a circular movement. apply the second hand before the first coat to dry.
