Why Choose the 17kg Tub?

• Convenience and Precision: The 17kg size is designed for projects where ease of handling and precise application are crucial. It’s also more manageable for transport and handling, reducing the physical strain on the user. This practical tub is ideal for keeping any remaining primer sealed and ready for future use, helping to reduce waste and maximise value.

Coverage and Application Guidelines:

• Coverage: One 17kg tub covers approximately 16 square meters when applied to the back of the flag only and around 7.65 square meters when applied to both the flags and base.
• Mixing Instructions: Use about 250ml of water per kilogram of Joint It Slurry Primer. Mix thoroughly with a paddle mixer for 3-4 minutes to achieve the optimal consistency. Apply the mixture within 1 hour of preparation.

Application Tips:

• Ensure that the bedding mortar base is correctly prepared before applying the primer.
• Apply the primer immediately after mixing, using a stiff brush to spread a 1-2mm layer onto the back of the slab. For enhanced adhesion, consider applying the primer to both the base and the slab.
• If the primer begins to cure before application, discard it and mix a fresh batch.

Technical Information:

• Aggregate Particle Size: 0.5-1mm
• Form: Granular
• Shelf Life: 6 months (unopened and stored correctly)
• Storage: Keep the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Curing Time: The product allows for light foot traffic after 24 hours and can accommodate vehicle traffic after 2-3 days, depending on weather conditions.

This 17kg bucket is ideal for those who need the same reliable performance as the 20kg bag but prefer a more manageable size without compromising quality or effectiveness. The 17 kg tub is easier to handle and store, making it suitable for smaller or more detailed projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What types of paving materials are compatible with Joint It Slurry Primer?

Joint It Slurry Primer is suitable for porcelain, natural stone, granite, sandstone, and concrete, providing strong adhesion across various surfaces.

How do I achieve the correct consistency when mixing the primer?

Using a paddle mixer, mix 250ml of water per kilogram of primer for about 3-4 minutes. The resulting mixture should be semi-fluid, allowing easy application and strong adhesion.

How should the product be stored to maintain its effectiveness?

Store the tub in a cool, dry area away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to ensure the product remains effective for up to six months.

Is it necessary to apply the primer in both hot and cold weather conditions?

The ideal application temperature is between +5°C and +30°C. Avoid applying the primer if the base or paving material is frozen, as this will negatively impact bonding. This ensures that the primer can be used effectively in a variety of weather conditions, providing peace of mind to the buyer.

What should I do if the primer begins to cure before I finish applying it?

If the primer starts to set before application, it’s best to discard it and mix a new batch to ensure optimal bonding and performance.

Why might I choose the 17kg tub over the 20kg bag?

The 17kg tub offers easier handling and more precise application, making it ideal for smaller or detailed projects while still delivering the same high-quality performance as the 20kg bag.
