FAQs

What is the mixing ratio for the Metolux 2-Part Liquid Mortar?

Refer to the product packaging for the precise mixing ratio between the liquid mortar and the hardener. Accurate measurement is critical for proper curing.

How long does it take to cure?

The curing time is rapid, typically allowing for handling or light traffic within a few hours. Full strength and paintability are achieved after a longer period, influenced by temperature and humidity. Always consult the product instructions for specific times.

Can I use this mortar on walls?

Yes, it is suitable for repairing cracks and cavities in brick and stone walls, both internally and externally, provided the surface is properly prepared.

Is the cured mortar waterproof?

The cured mortar offers good weather resistance, making it suitable for exterior use. However, it is not designed as a primary waterproofing agent for submerged applications.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Unopened containers, stored correctly in a cool, dry place, typically have a shelf life of 12-24 months. Refer to the product batch number or manufacturer's guidelines for exact dates.

Can I use this product for cosmetic repairs only?

While it provides a paintable and smooth finish suitable for cosmetic repairs, its structural adhesion and strength also make it effective for functional repairs of cracks and chips.

How much area can 1kg of mortar cover?

Coverage depends on the size and depth of the area being repaired. The 1kg unit is typically sufficient for numerous small repairs or a few medium-sized cracks. Refer to manufacturer guidelines for estimated coverage rates.

Troubleshooting

Mortar not setting or setting too slowly

Ensure accurate mixing ratios of the two components. Check ambient temperature; curing is slower in cold conditions. Make sure the hardener was adequately mixed in.

Poor adhesion to the surface

Verify that the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from contaminants). Ensure no water was present during application and curing.

Cracks reappearing after repair

The underlying cause of the crack may not have been addressed, or the repair was not deep enough. Consider if the structural issue requires professional assessment.

Surface appears porous after curing

This could indicate insufficient mixing or air entrapment during application. For minor porosity, a second thin coat might improve the finish before painting.
