LIMITATIONS / PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT place at temperatures below 40oF (5oC) unless
special provisions are followed. At low temperatures, wa-
ter requirement should be field tested.

When nearby equipment causes vibration of the grout,

during set, such equipment should be shut down for a
period of 24 hours (at 73oF (23oC)). DO NOT mix over 5
minutes. DO NOT over water; this can cause bleeding or
separation. DO NOT retemper. DO NOT add cement,
sand, or admixtures.
