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, a wet mix is stronger. Do not over mix. You can add powdered or water base cement pigments while mixing in the wet ingredients.

APPLYING: If using extruded foam (ie Blueboard or Pinkboard) roughen surface with coarse sandpaper. Fill big cracks and holes by applying pasty mixture with a trowel. You may add more water until mixture is thin enough to apply with a paint brush, although thinning weakens coating. Can be applied with a standard spray hopper. Use thinned mixture to texture large areas. For best strength apply at least 1/4” (6mm) thick. Multiple coats may be applied. Try texturing surface before coating sets.

CURE TIME: Working time of 1.5-3 hours. Reaches 80% of its strength in 12-24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Fully cures in 3-5 days. Lightly fogging the surface on and off for 24 hours will increase strength.

FINISHING: Remove dust before painting or staining. This product goes on rough and is not sandable. Finish as the surface is setting up.

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.

WARNING: Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Wear dust, skin and eye protection. Use approved respirator when sanding. In case of eye contact, flush immediately with water, consult a physician. Wash hands with soap and water after use and before eating. Keep out of reach of children.
