Packaging: Available in 60lb sacks. Orco Blended Products Acrylic Fortifier is available in 1 and 5gal bottles.

Surface Preparation: Installation procedures outlined in ANSI 108.10 should be followed. Mortar beds should be properly cured prior to grouting. Mortar beds that are excessively wet may produce efflorescence. The use of a grout release may be necessary. Dampen the surface of the joint and brick just prior to application. All surfaces should be clean and free of any dust, oil or bond inhibitors.

Mixing: Use the same procedure throughout the job uniform results. Add approximately 60 lbs of grout to one gallon of liquid. Mix thoroughly and allow to slake for 15 minutes, and then remix without additional liquid. Do not retemper.

Placing: Application should be done in the cool part of the day to avoid rapid water evaporation. Fill joints with grout using a pump, grout bag, or rubber float. Compact with a rubber float or jointing tool. The least amount of grout left on the face of the veneer at this time will make final clean up easier. Upon grout achieving initial set, clean the surface with a cheesecloth, sponge, or nylon pad. Care should be taken to prevent joints from drying out to quickly during the first 72 hours. Cleaning by acid solution may cause discoloration and should be done on a trial basis.

Technical Data: Mini Brick & Paver Grout meets the requirements of ANSI 118.6-1985.

Limitations: Avoid application in extreme weather conditions, hot or cold. Do not apply when temperatures are below or expected to fall below 40 deg. F.
