The mortar can be applied by spatula or trowel. For
any thickness more than 30 mm, SikaRep® SA must be
applied in several layers.
As soon as the mortar has started to set it can be
smoothed by wooden or synthetic float. For fine sur-
face finish SikaRep® Fine SA, Sika Monotop®625 Fine SA
can be applied over the SikaRep® SA.
