Mixing GrailCoat
Using the 1/2", 7.0 Amp Drill with Drywall Mixing Blade
- Add color container to 5-gallon pail of liquid polymer. Cut hole in lid
for mixing shaft, add color to bucket. Replace lid before mixing to prevent
spilling (Adding an ounce of water to the color container to help evacuate
all the color is acceptable. Be sure to use the same amount of water each
time) Blend the color well with mixer. Then divide the 5-gallon bucket as
described below.
- GrailCoat SuperFlex: divide five gallons of liquid evenly into
three clean 5-gallon pails.
GrailCoat DuraFlex: divide five gallons of liquid evenly into
four clean 5-gallon pails.
GrailCoat DuraSurf: divide five gallons of liquid evenly into
five clean 5-gallon pails.
- IF COLOR IS NOT RIGHT, CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY!
- Mix one pail at a time by adding one bag of powder per pail of liquid,
divided as instructed above.
- Slowly add powder to the center (vortex) of the spinning mixer, stop
adding powder, continue mixing then stop and check. The desired consistency
is when you stop the mixer, wait 3 seconds and large air bubbles will appear
(burping). Judge consistency, some powder may be left over due to
environmental conditions.
ONLY USE THE AMOUNT OF POWDER NEEDED.
YOU MAY NOT NEED TO USE THE WHOLE BAG.
- Be sure to mix long enough and if in doubt mix a bit longer. Wait 5 or 10
minutes then mix again for two to three minutes.
- Humidity and the heat will make for less fluidity and pot life.
- Never leave material exposed to direct sunlight!
- If there is a time lapse between batches, put your mixer in a bucket of
water to help keep blades clean.
