Installation notes
- 1Mix silicate cement with hardener strictly per ratio; use within pot life
- 2Apply over an installed membrane; bed bricks/tiles with full, void-free joints
- 3Cure silicate joints (acid-wash / "souring") before chemical exposure per supplier schedule
- 4Select chemistry by exposure: silicate for mineral acids, furan/epoxy for organic or mixed media
