1. PREPARATION:

1.1. Concrete surfaces to which MegaCast 401 is to be applied must be free of dust and standing water.

1.2. Remove oil, grease, curing compounds, paint, water repellents, polymer modified render.

1.3. Remove all laitence to leave a lightly textured open surface.

1.4. Honeycombing shall be cut out and repaired with MegaPlug which is applied onto MegaCast 401

1.5. Live water leaks shall be sealed with MegaPlug

2. MIXING: (MegaCast 401 Slurry)

3.2. Apply by brush to the damp substrate at the rate of 0.5kg/m².

3.3. When the first coat is firm but still green, apply a second coat at right angles to the first at the rate of
0.5kg/m².

4. CURING:

4.1. If the MegaCast 401has been applied in a situation where it may dry rapidly following application, wet
