MIXING
Mix KING 1-1-6 GREY with a maximum of 5.0 L (1.3 US gallons) of potable water per 30 KG (66 lb) of mortar in a clean mortar mixer. Pour 4.5 L (1.2 US gallons) of water into the mixer and add 30 KG (66 lb) of KING 1-1-6 GREY. Mix for 3 to 5 minutes, or 5 to 10 minutes when a colourant is added in the field. Allow the mortar to rest for a short period of time. Using the remaining water, adjust the mixture to obtain the desired consistency.
TOOLING OF THE JOINTS
The tooling of joints exposed to rain is an important step that contributes to the waterproofing of the masonry system, and must be done using a jointer. The amount of water present in the mortar joint at the time of tooling will determinate the final colour of the cured mortar. To avoid colour variation, ensure that the mortar joint always contains the same amount of water when it is tooled. As a general rule, the joint is considered ready to be tooled when the mortar has hardened sufficiently, such that a fingerprint mark remains. Unless otherwise stated, a concave joint is preferred.
CLEANING
Using water, a piece of jute or a piece of wood, make sure to remove as much splash or mortar stains as possible, before the mortar hardens, as to avoid the use of cleaning agents. If the use of cleaning products is necessary, be sure to contact the manufacturer of the product to validate the compatibility and the procedure to follow. Apart from KING 1-1-6 ONYX, all KING coloured mortars contain iron or titanium oxides.
If the ONYX colour is used, please refer to the KING 1-1-6 ONYX Technical Data Sheet.
Regardless of the technique or product selected, it is essential to preserve the integrity of the mortar.
