Application Instructions:

1. Preparation: Ensure the concrete slab meets PICSPAVE specifications and finish as per Typical Specification Number 102.
2. Application: Once surface bleed water has evaporated, apply PICSPAVE CSH evenly by hand in one application (or two equal applications for a rate of 5kg/m2). Avoid casting CSH over long distances or in strong wind.
3. Finishing: Immediately after wetting out, work PICSPAVE CSH into the surface using a magnesium float until the slab is uniform in color and level. Finish with a steel trowel to close pores and remove undulations before imprinting.
4. Detailing: Pay careful attention to finishing slab edges and construction joints where adjoining slabs meet. Apply Release Agent and place PICSPAVE imprinting mats for a flawless final result.
