Application

One 25kg pack of RonaBond Bedding Mortar will fix 70 slips (65mm x 225mm) using a 10mm bed. One 2kg pack of Ronacrete Standard Primer is sufficient for 150 slips (concrete surface and slip).

The surface to receive the slip must be mechanically prepared to ensure it is structurally sound and stable and strong enough to support the weight of the slip and the mortar. The surface must be mechanically abraded by scabbling, needle gunning or similar methods to provide a strong, laitence free profile. Any coatings must be removed back to clean, sound concrete. Clean the surface to remove dust and debris.

The back of the brick slip / component must be cleaned to remove loose material and any contamination. Damp the surface and the back of the slip / component with clean water; remove excess water.

Apply a single coat of Ronacrete Standard Primer to the damp surfaces; the primer must remain wet or tacky and must not dry before the mortar is applied. Mix RonaBond Bedding Mortar as per Data Sheet instructions. Trowel the mortar on to the back of the slip / component, or on to the surface, to a bed depth of 6-12mm (typically).

Place the slip / component in to the mortar, position and brace. Ensure total contact between the slip / component, mortar and concrete. Support the slip as necessary until the mortar has hardened sufficiently. Avoid staining the face of slip with the primer or mortar.
