CAUTION The following will adversely affect the density, strength and setting properties of Buffalo Patch Mortars:
• Dirty and/or hot water • Cement contamination • Excessive water • Dirty mixing equipment
Curing Time: Buffalo Patch contains a sodium silicate binder. As a result, curing time and rate are not as critical as some other products. Normal curing procedure should allow for initial warm room temperature drying of 24 hours, then gradual increased temperature. Cold temperatures will retard the setting process. Never heat at a rate that will produce steam.
