Stage II Accelerator:
Stage II accelerator: (makes the mix set faster) typical amount is 2-5% 2% = 25% more next day strength, plenty of working time after mixing 5% = 60% more next day strength, reduces working time to 20 minutes so once it is mixed get it in the form asap. Follow directions on TDS sheet. |

Hydration Stabilizer:
Hydration Stabilizer: (makes the mix set slower for more working time) Typical amount is 0.2-0.5%. 0.2% adds 10-15 minutes to the working time at 75-90F 0.5% adds 45-60 minutes more working time at 75-90F Follow directions on TDS sheet. *NOTE* use a drill and mixing paddle to blend Hydration stabilizer into the water before adding water to your mix. |

Fiber:
Fiber: (reinforcement to prevent structural cracking) Typical amount is 3% of ½” OR ¾”. HD anticrack (invisible in the mix and is used to prevent micro cracks when casting a face coat and back coat separately) Typical amount is 0.5%. Follow directions on TDS sheet *NOTE* add fiber after you have mixed the rest of the ingredients thoroughly. |
