RECOMMENDED TOOLS

Kit: All tools necessary are included in the HENRY Patch & Go 1 lb. kit (a putty knife or a steel trowel may be easier to use than the plastic trowel enclosed with your kit).
Bucket: Mixing bucket, margin trowel, steel trowel or putty knife. HENRY Patch & Go can be mixed in its own container using a mixing stick or a mechanical mixing paddle and a drill.

MIXING:

HENRY Patch & Go mixing ratio is 2 parts powder with one part water by volume. For the 1 lb. Kit; mix the contents of the 1 pound (454g) bag with 1 cup (8 oz.) of water. For the 7 lb. Bucket; use 7 cups (56 oz.) of water.
NOTE: The use of more water will weaken HENRY Patch & Go and lower its durability.
Mix only as much as you can place in 15 minutes.
Use cool water to mix. Warm or hot water may cause material to set up faster. Cold water may cause material to dry slower.
Use slightly less water for a thicker patch consistency for deep filling.
Place water in the mixing container. Begin mixing by hand while gradually adding the powder. Stir to a lump-free consistency. NOTE: Mixing with a drill will produce a creamier and smoother consistency.

INSTALLATION:

Use the enclosed plastic trowel or putty knife can be used for small areas, a steel trowel for large surfaces.
Apply sufficient pressure to fill in all surface defects.
Where necessary, minor touch-up work or a smooth surface can be accomplished by using a slightly dampened sponge once the surface has hardened. If the material has already fully set, the surface can be smoothed with fine sand paper.
HENRY Patch & Go is a white, Portland cement color. As with all natural materials, variations in color can occur. If a solid, consistent color is desired, it is recommended that an opaque sealer is used.
HENRY Patch & Go contains no sand or gritty fillers and can be placed to a true featheredge for perfectly smooth transitions. It can also be used in small areas to fill gouges, dents and holes at depths of 1" or greater. NOTE: Small areas require only 15 minutes of drying time, while thicker areas will take longer to harden.
Pot life: 15-20 minutes at 70°F (21°C). If product begins to set in the bucket, re-mix by hand or using a mixing paddle and drill to re-temper. DO NOT ADD MORE WATER!
Shelf life is six months if not opened.

DRYING:

HENRY Patch & Go requires no special curing or drying procedures. In fact, due to its unique formulation, application of a latex paint or water-borne sealer can begin as soon as the surface has hardened. It does not need to be completely dry.
The time until the surface hardens will vary with jobsite conditions, weather, type of substrate, and thickness of installation.
Smoothing over small voids in plaster, wood, or drywall may require 15 minutes of drying time, while thicker applications, as well as those outdoors at cooler temperatures may take an hour or more
