Desert Brand Desert Crete Polymer 550, 5 GL

Desert Crete Level Max 20/30 is a cementitious-based underlayment or overlayment designed to seamlessly slope or prepare a walking deck surface for flawless installation of the Desert Flex Deck Resurfacing System. When combined with Polymer 550, Level Max 20/30 specially performs as a water resistant underlayment with high compressive bond and flexural strengths.

Instructions for Use:

• Polymer 550 is a concentrate and must be diluted with equal parts clear, clean water before use; re-agitate before use
• It is recommended to start with 1 ¼ gallon of the diluted Polymer 550 to a 50 lb Level Max bag
• Slowly add small amounts of Level Max 20/30 and mix using a low speed drill mixer
• Add additional diluted Polymer 550 and/or Level Max 20/30 into the mix until a plastic consistency is achieved
• Depending on weather conditions, as much as ¼ gallon Polymer 550 may be added to improve workability. Adding an excessive amount (more than 1½ gallons) of Polymer 550 may result in product failure

Note: Typically, Level Max 20/30 is applied to a maximum depth of 1/8 inch. For applications greater than 1 /8 inch, the addition of 12 lbs #16 mesh sand will be required per 50 lb bag of Level Max 20/30. For applications greater than ½ inch, the addition of 12 lbs #16 mesh sand and 12 lbs pea gravel will be required per 50 lb bag of Level Max 20/30.

Application:

• Apply the prepared mix to the deck surface by trowel
• Keep the surface of the steel trowel damp with water while troweling material, especially during warm weather.
• Allow to dry thoroughly before proceeding (4 to 8 hours, depending upon thickness and weather conditions)
