Application
MIMIC is formulated to be compatible with natural stone
and is color matched so that repairs will replicate the
existing surface. MIMIC is available in 19 standard colors
or can be matched to a specific substrate for a prepaid
charge of $100. For special color matching complete the
MIMIC color match form (available from Customer Support)
and submit with a 4 inch by 4 inch piece of surface to be
matched. The sample submitted must be cleaned using
the same procedure as will be used on the building.
Mix only as much material as can be placed in 15 - 20
minutes. Place in 1 - 2 inch lifts. Allow MIMIC to become
thumb-print hard before applying additional material.
Over-build MIMIC by 1/4 inch and shave to desired shape
once it has reached initial set. The finishing technique
will appear to affect the color. A smooth finish will appear
to be a lighter color than a shaved finish. Shaving when
green will yield a rougher texture. The harder the material
the finer the finish when shaved. Experiment in an area
that is hidden from view if possible. |
