6.   INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

6.1 PREPARATION.

Antel Salt Arrest is designed to prevent salt migration through building masonry.  It must be applied to the base of masonry and not to renders or coatings applied to masonry.

Remove all forms of contamination and any weak material prior to application.

6.2 MIXING.

Open both containers taking care not to damage the screw thread of the rectangular tin.  Remove the inner seal of the larger tin.  Pour the entire contents of the smaller container into the larger one and replace the lid tightly.  Shake the container vigorously for about five minutes.

6.3 APPLICATION.

Application is best carried out using a brush.  The mixed material should be flooded onto the prepared surface and worked well in.   Apply each application until refusal.  Do not allow the previous application to dry before applying further material.  Continue applications until the surface will not accept any more material.

6.4 DECORATION.

If required further decoration or protective coatings can be applied to the treated areas.   This action is best carried out within two days of the treatment.

6.5 POT LIFE

The mixed material has a very long pot life and can be used up to two days after mixing provided that the container is kept resealed after taking out enough product for each application.
