Instructions
Temperature Cure
XS Veining will cure more slowly than the XS mixes it enhances. It should be applied inside a shop. The slower cure may be a factor in de-molding a precast piece, especially in cooler weather.
Application
XS Veining may be broadcast dry or placed as a paste. The dry broadcast method creates a more rugged, yet natural-looking vein through a stone face. The paste method leaves no voids and when placed properly, yields equally pleasing organic shapes.
Dry Broadcast
- Place XS Precast in the bottom of the mold where the vein is to be located.
- Toss XS Veining against the wet edge of the XS Precast.
- Push excess material into the vein using a small chip brush.
- Vacuum or blow with compressed air unwanted remainder of XS Veining out of the mold.
- Randomly brush any area where vacuum or blower may have created a visible pattern.
- Mist the vein with a spray bottle to activate the cement.
- Continue the placing of Xtreme Precast, exercising care to cover the vein without disturbing it.
Wet Paste
- Mix 4 parts Xtreme Veining to 1 part water.
- Tool into place where desired in base of mold with very small trowel or butter knife.
- Place Xtreme Precast, exercising care to cover the vein without disturbing it.
Suitability Sample
Always prepare a sample to establish aesthetic suitability. Sample approval is especially critical for custom coloration.
Clean-up
Before XS Veining dries, spills and tools can be cleaned up with water.
