doubt exists about having achieved an unbroken film, a
second application should be made and allowed to dry prior
to continuing.

Nitobond AR mortars, toppings and renders should not be
used when the temperature is below 5°C and falling. Neither
should they be exposed to moving water during application.
Exposure to heavy rainfall prior to the final set may result in
surface scour. If any doubts arise concerning temperature,
application or substrate conditions, consult the local Fosroc
office.
Application of bonding aid
The substrate should be thoroughly soaked with clean water
with any excess removed prior to commencement of the
works. Scrub Nitobond AR into the substrate, avoid
puddling and remove any excess. The repair mortar or
topping should be applied whilst the primer is still tacky.
