Installation

Preparatory Work
The mixing shall conform to ASTM Specifications.

Application
A power mixer should be used to provide thorough mixing and dispersing of color. To provide consistent and uniform color a sound method is: (1) Load the mixer with selected mix design and fine aggregate. (2.) Add the designated amount of DCS Mortar Color along with the cementitious materials for the mix and agitate at full speed for several minutes before adding the water for the mix. Any change in proportioning the amount of water, sand and color to the cement and/or type of cement and sand used on the same job can result in variation of color tone in the finished job.
Before loading, agitator should be checked for residual water from cleaning.
