MIXING: Settling may occur in shipping causing a gritty texture that does not stick well. Remix if there is separation in dry mixture. Remove or break up any clumps. Use when temperatures are between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C). Mix in a clean container with clean water. Use 1 part cool water per 3 parts of powder (for example, 1 cup of water per 3 cups of powder). Add water to powder and mix until Foam Coat turns to a smooth paste. Add more powder or water as needed for your application. A drier mix is stronger. If you add Boost or Bounce, a wet mix is stronger. Do not over mix, or separation can occur. You can add powdered or water based cement pigments while mixing in the wet ingredients.

APPLYING: Fill big cracks and holes by applying pasty mixture with a trowel. If using extruded foam (ie Blueboard or Pinkboard) roughen surface with coarse sandpaper. Apply with a paint brush, stucco brush, trowel or hopper gun. Use thinned mixture to texture large areas. For best strength apply at least 1/4” (6mm) thick. Multiple coats may be applied. Brushing or spraying a thin first coat, called a scratch coat, will make the next coat much easier to apply. Try texturing surface as the coating sets.

CURE TIME: Working time of 10-20 minutes. Reaches full strength in 12-24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Add up to 50% latex paint to the water to extend drying time to 40-50 minutes.

FINISHING: Remove dust before painting. This product goes on smooth and can be sanded. Can be used outdoors if sealed with paint. Add Grit texturizer to create a rock-like surface effect.

CLEAN-UP: Clean tools and brushes with clean soapy water before coating hardens. If you add Boost, don’t leave any residue as it will be impossible to clean after it dries.
