to secure maximum insulating efficiency BLOATING
MUST TAKE PLACE AFTER APPLICATION
IN THE MORTAR BOX
Open bag and pour only quantity of INSULAG into a clean mortar box that can be mixed and applied within
twenty minutes
Add sufficient water to INSULAG to make a smooth
working mixture Use clean fresh water at 60-65 An average mixture takes about ten and half 10 gallons of water to a one hundred pound bag More or
less water may be used for various types of work
Mix the batch thoroughly and quickly with a hoe or | shovel turning the mixture over to be sure all of the INSULAG is saturated with water Apply INSULAG promptly after mixing so that the BLOATING TAKES
PLA~ E ON THE WORK INSTEAD OF IN THE
MORTAR BOX Make a fresh batch for each application Mix only quantity required Close bag tightly to keep the unused material in good dry condition
Best results are secured by hand application by throwing the INSULAG against the surface Then smear to a uniform thickness Allow bloating action to take place and material to set Then apply finish coat by trowel Smooth hard finish is obtained by use of wet troweling
Where more than
t hickness of INSULAG is to be
used apply " and after thoroughly expanded and set
cover with
mesh 19 gauge wire netting or with
other suitable metal lath securely fastened and proceed
with further application of INSULAG in similar manner
Where large volumes are to be applied at one time heavier gauge metal lath or wire netting will be required
All surfaces which are to be covered with INSULAG
should be dry and clean of dust loose scaly rust paint and grease When surface is painted with asphalt
products same should be entirely removed before appli-
;
cation
For hot surface application a small quantity of INSULAG should be diluted into a thick paint consistency and painted on the entire surface which will rapidly dry Then spot with regular mix INSULAG allow the coats to set up and then fill in with INSULAG For
additional thickness use reinforcing as described above
Where INSULAG is applied over porous surfaces this surface should be painted with sufficient INSULAG to . seal absorption of the porous material Then " mesh 19 gauge wire netting should be applied and securely fastened and further INSULAG of regular mix applied
Large flat areas are quickly and efficiently lagged by
band the use of the Quigley Refractory Gun which applies
INSULAG much more rapidly than is possible by
When two or more coats of INSULAG are to be used
the roughing coat should be allowed to stay rough troweled provide a bond for the succeeding coats The finish coat should be applied after the roughing coat has set but is still damp A smooth troweled surface can be
secured by retroweling the surface of the INSULAG with
1 moistened trowel or float just before it is thoroughly dry or by applying another thin coat over the surface of the expanded or bloated INSULAG and troweling this thin coat This will insure full expanded value of the applica
tion
INSULAG will set up hard in from 2 to 24 hours
depending upon temperature and atmospheric conditions
For the large valves and intricate shapes INSULAG may be hand molded to the equipment or may be precast in knock forms greased inside The precast form may be fastened in place with gauge metal bands or fabric wrappings
