Always wet out the pump, hose, and applicator
before loading the mortar or epoxy material. See
.
Always follow the material manufacturer’s instructions
for the material being sprayed. Mortar must be
thoroughly mixed to a smooth consistency before
loading it in the hopper.
• Always add the powder slowly to the fluid while
mixing. Do not add fluid to the powder.
• In non-explosive environments only: Use a
powerful mixer drive such as a minimum 800
watt, 1/2 in. drive, electric drill. Gear reduced
drills work best. Drill should have high torque at
300-1200 rpm.
• A heavy-duty drywall mud “H” blade or large “Jiffy”
blade generally works well for mixing.

Mixing:
• Pay close attention to the work life of the material
being used.
• Only mix the mortar kits as needed. Do not let
mixed mortar sit longer than necessary.
• Scrape mortar down the sides of the hopper as
the hopper material level lowers. Do not let older
mortar cure on the walls.
• Occasionally, do not refill the hopper until it is
almost empty. This ensures all material in hopper
is used while fresh.
