Raeco Quick-Fix is a single component, concrete repair and topping compound consisting of a uniform, premixed blend of Portland cements and graded washed silica aggregates with polymer modification to promote lasting surface adhesion, for renovation and new construction. Quick-Fix can be applied from feathered edge to 1/2" (12.7 mm.) as packaged, for thickness greater than 1/2" use appropriate aggregate. Quick-Fix can be used for horizontal, vertical and overhead surfaces. Suitable for interior and exterior use, a sealer or coating is recommended when used for a wearing surface. Quick-Fix contains no gypsum, chlorides, ferrous metals or corrosive agents.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be covered must be structurally sound, clean and free of dust, oil, grease, sealers, curing compounds, laitance, release agents or other surface contaminants. Where possible, cut vertical shoulders at edges to accommodate repair. For smooth surfaces, we recommend mechanical abrasion to achieve an acceptable surface profile. The cleaning and preparation method selected depends on both the sub-floor material and its condition. Acid etching is not recommended. For optimum adhesion, mix Quick-Fix with water to a slurry consistency, trowel or brush thoroughly into the area to be covered. Raeco R-2000 can also be used as a bonding medium.

MIXING
Raeco Quick-Fix is mixed by adding clean water at a rate of approximately 4 to 5 quarts (3.8 to 4.75 liters) of water for each 50 lb. bag of dry powder. For a 10 lb. pail, the ratio is approximately .8 to 1.0 quarts (.76 to .95 liters) of water. More or less water may be added to obtain the desired consistency, but do not exceed 6 quarts (5.7 liters) of water for each 50 lb. bag of Quick-Fix. Water should be added to the mixing container first, then the Quick-Fix powder, followed by the appropriate aggregate (when used).

Using a mixing paddle (a whip type is recommended) with a low speed drill (400 to 500 rpm), mix thoroughly (2 to 3 minutes) until the powder has been completely dispersed and the mix has acquired a smooth homogeneous texture. Do not add more water once Quick-Fix has started setting up. The pot life of the mix averages about 12 minutes and working time 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the temperature. It is recommended to mix only the amount of Quick-Fix that can be applied within that amount of time.

APPLICATION
Apply the Raeco Quick-Fix mixture quickly on the prepared surface. Should a broom finish be desired, do so right away. Do not add or spray water onto the surface for finishing, it may cause the surface to blister or spall. Rough spots or trowel marks may be shaved or sanded off the surface after a couple of hours. When patching or leveling larger areas with Quick-Fix, applying a film-forming curing/sealing compound immediately after application will help reduce the possibility of surface shrinkage cracks. On installations 3/4" thick or greater, a wet curing method should be used, by means of curing blankets or damp burlap. When Quick-Fix is going to be a wearing surface, a sealer or coating is recommended.

When Quick-Fix is to be applied on surfaces other than concrete (i.e., wood, metal, terrazzo, etc.), consult Raeco’s Technical Service Department for recommended preparation, bonding, and application procedures.

LIMITATIONS
Raeco Quick-Fix should only be applied over substrates that are between 40° and 90° F. (4.4° and 32.2° C.) Do not apply in the rain, and do not allow to freeze within 24 hours of application. When applying Quick-Fix to thickness greater than 1/2" (12.7 mm.), bulk the mix with the appropriate type and amount of aggregate (refer to Coverage Section).

WARNING
Raeco Quick-Fix contains Portland cement and silica sand. Use of a dust respirator, safety goggles and rubber gloves are recommended. In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with water and consult a physician. Avoid hazards by following all precautions found in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), product labels and technical literature. Please read this information prior to using product.
