Blanchard Group’s premixed concrete is a ready-to-use hydraulic mix with a base of Portland cement and aggregates. It is ideal for sidewalks, fences, foundations, sonotubes, wall foundations and any other similar application. It is recommended for jobs requiring a thickness of 25 mm (1 in.) or more. STORE IN A DRY PLACE.
Pour the contents of the bag into a mixer, mortar trough, wheelbarrow, or on a clean, smooth surface. Make a hole in the centre and add 2.9 litres (.55 imp. gal.) of water, in small quantities at a time, mix thoroughly using a spade or hoe until uniform. Add a bit of water if the mixture is too thick.
Once the desired consistency has been achieved, apply the mixture to wet surfaces. Pour the mixture into the cavities and push it in with a rod or stick. Level it off using a straight timber rail. Let harden prior to trowelling. Use a steel trowel for a smooth finish, a wooden trowel for a matte finish and a broom or brush if you want small ridges. Contraction joints that are 1.8 m (6 in.) in length, for a width of 100 mm (4 in.) will be required to prevent cracking. Do not use premixed concrete in temperatures below 4°C (39.2°F). Allow premixed concrete to cure for 24 hours prior to demoulding. Keep wet for at least 3 days.
Once wet, a 25kg bag will yield approximately 0.0124 m³ (0.44 ft³).
