Always wet out the pump, hose, and applicator
before loading the mortar or epoxy material. See
Wet Out the System, page
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.

• 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.
