General Ratios:

• Recommended ratios — 5:1 or 3:1
• Definetly not 10:1

Undiluted Application:

• 1lt covers 5 sq metres
• 5lt covers 25 sq metres

Depending on intended use, strength of product — best application is 3:1

Adhesive

For wood, paper, cardboard, ceramics apply Stirobond undiluted to both surfaces and clamp together until dry.

Concrete

Skimming and Screeding

Seal surface by applying 1 coat of Stirobond thinned with 3 parts water. Allow to dry. Apply second coat of Stirobond thinned with 2 parts water. When tacky apply cement plaster or cretestone. To further adhesion of plater, mix 5 litres of Stirobond to each pocket of cement or cretestone.

Bonding and Filling Cracks

Cement Additive

Mix 5 litres of Stirobond to each pocket of cement. Stirobond greatly increases the adhesion and strength of concrete. It creates a waterproof, tough, hard-wearing, dust free surface as well as increasing the resistance to acids and alkaline substances.

Great for concrete ceilings, concrete beams any concrete columns and floors, can help fix a poor-quality finish and prevent damage.

Sealing cretestone and other contrete pavers:

• Dilute 3:1
• 2 coats painted on seals well

When applied on white cement it will give you a protective film covering as a finishing coat.

Walls in older existing houses:

• Add Stirobond to slush 5:1, mortar 3:1
• Plastering ratio — 15 litres out of a 5lt Stirobond (3:1)

Before floors goes down:

• Chip first.
• Cement slush floor and 5:1 slush added.
• Plaster with 5:1 mixed into in plaster or mortar.

Add Stirobond to concrete to strengthen and serve as a waterproofer in a slab.

Existing screeds to be raised:

• Chip floor
• Stirobond slush floor
• Throw new floor over that (it bond well)

Paint and Walls

Used on existing paint, it becomes a film.

Seal walls with minor cracks, you can seal wall with Stirobond and paint over it, helps keep things together.

Mixed into paint to create a strong bond and waterproof paint.

Tiling and Grouting

Stirobond can be used for mosaics etc.

Use as tile grout bonding agent and mix as tile grout adhesive. Mix 1 part Stirobond and 5 parts water to grouting mix.

Waterproofing

Stirobond is an excellent waterproofing agent.

When scheming a wall you want it to look natural apply Stirobond to the wall 2-3 coats for a durable coating.

Wood and Roofing

Paint on wood or chipboard for sealing purposes.

Ultraboard (eves) and outside board:

• Apply as 1st coat primer on surface (mixed 3:1)
• Apply paint over that

Can be used as a clear varnish on skirting boards.
