3. Do not add materials other than clean potable water. Water with a
high mineral salt content can cause efflorescence. Efflorescence
occurs naturally with portland cement based products and is beyond
the control of Amerimix.
4. Avoid adding excessive amounts of water that promote segregation,
loss of strength and loss of durability.
5. Always prepare a test panel reflecting jobsite conditions.
6. Shelf life not to exceed one year from date of manufacture.
7. Do not install if rain is expected within 24 hours and the walls cannot
be protected.

MIXING
1. Use of a mechanical mixer will help ensure a uniform mix.
2. Using clean potable water, add approximately 2 gal (7.6 L)
per 80 lb (36.3 kg) bag.
3. Mix only quantities that can be applied within one hour.
4. With the mixer running, add bags of dry stucco and mix thoroughly.
Add additional water in small amounts as necessary to achieve
optimum consistency and workability.
5. Mix for a minimum of 5 minutes adding enough of the remaining
water to achieve a workable consistency. Caution: Adding too much
water will reduce strength.
6. Let mix stand for 2 minutes to enable absorption of water and re-mix.
Water and mix time must be kept consistent between batches.
7. Wash out mixer periodically to keep material from caking. DO NOT
RETEMPER. Re-tempering may reduce bond and compressive
strength. Addition of cold water at high temperatures or warm water
at low temperatures will aid in adjusting the set time.
