RSLMC GUIDELINES

Rapid Set® Latex Modified Concrete

Finishing


Finishing Equipment:

  • Hand operated vibrators and screeds should be used to place and finish small areas.
  • A self propelled finishing machine, capable of forward and reverse movement should be used for finishing large areas of work.
  • A suitable, portable, lightweight work bridge should be used behind the finishing operation for any brooming or tining.

CONSTRUCTION METHOD -- FINISHING:

The finishing machine should proceed over the pour as the material is placed. Deep sections should be vibrated with a spud vibrator. Edges will need to be finished by hand. Final finishing should be completed before the material has reached a final set. Water should not be applied to the surface to aid finishing. Working time can be extended by adding citric acid solution to an admixture tank. DO NOT ADD CITRIC ACID DIRECTLY TO DOW MODIFIER A.
