This week is getting frosty and I'm in the middle of building a wall that really needs to be done and waiting for the cold weather to pass is far from ideal. I bought some febmix winter additive to lay blocks down to -4c. It never gets colder than that here. It says on the tub to mix it 2.5ltr per 50kgs of cement. I worked out that's 50ml per kg. I'm mixing at 3 to 1 and I'm making small loads(24kgs). So that's roughly 1.2ltrs of additive.
That's didnt seem right but I went on anyway. The mix was way too runny. Even with no water added the mix is still way to runny. Am I doing something wrong?
Is the ratio 2.5ltrs per 50kgs of cement powder or per fully mixed load. Just cant get this right. Any help would be appreciated.
