Built using too much plasticiser

[lostinthelight]

I don't actually know what that means,I thought someone might know-how much to put in with say 4 shovels of sand to one of cement! I don't know what a glug is either!

If youve got the ratio to water you premix in a drum or bucket and add it to your mix till its the right consistency,
doesnt mater if you use 4 or 8 shovels the mix is consistant

1litre of plasticiser to 30 litres of water but dont take that as suitable for your product

How did you arrive at that figure? If it's 85 to 25 kg cement, would 85÷25=3.4ml for1kg of cement?

 

[Eamman]

whats the product your using

Using bostik cementone morter plasticiser!

 

[lostinthelight]

How did you arrive at that figure?

[Eamman]

whats the product your using

I did ask bostik and they said i'd have to weigh the amount of cement and add plastciser to the dry mix! They said I couldn't add it to the water!

So, how do I mix in dry mix?

 

[Charlie George]

Are you discussing using plasticiser, or a covid vaccine formula ? just put a small dollop in each mix and don't worry about it.
