APPLICATION
Surface Preparation:
Form surfaces should be free of existing oil, rust, and concrete buildup prior to application. It can be applied minutes or days before casting.
Methods:
- Cast-O-Magic® 205 VOC should be applied in a thin film for a maximum performance and economy by spray, mop, roller, or brush.
- It should be applied before reinforcing steel is in place.
- Care should be taken to avoid over application.
- Excess material in the form of puddles should be wiped up.
- Over application can cause concrete build-up, soft spots, excessive surface voids and discoloration of concrete.
- Application at subfreezing temperatures promotes thicker film thicknesses which cause more surface voids, Dilution with solvents is not recommended. It is to be used as is.
- Dilution with solvents is not recommended. It is to be used as-is.
- Dilution can cause concrete build-up and difficulty in stripping.
MAINTENANCE
Storage:
- Cast-O-Magic® 205 VOC will keep indefinitely in sealed containers.
- Do not store near heat sources.
- Cover, or store drums on side to prevent water contamination.
Coverages:
- On smooth, non-porous form surfaces such as steel, aluminum, plastic and high density plywood – 1500 sq. Ft./Gal.
- On semi-porous form surfaces such as medium density plywood and paper column forms – 1000 Sq. Ft./Gal.
- On very porous form surfaces such as low density plywood and concrete – 500 Sq. Ft./Gal.
- Coverages may vary due to person applying material and condition of forms.
