Some who are not paid what they are worth ought to be glad.
No more playing dress-up before mixing mortar.
Plasticizers may make mortar easier to handle. But when they're toxic, they create a real handling problem.
Easy-Spred eliminates the need to play dress-up. Its natural minerals can be handled with bare hands, saving time and money while reducing the risk of skin and eye burns.
Once on the board, one 7 lb. bag of Easy-Spred out-performs 50 lbs. of lime. Because it retains water, it promotes better curing with less shrinkage while greatly reducing the amount of retempering needed. It accepts color pigments without bleaching, so you can make a better color match. And, it provides up to twice the board life of a standard Portland/lime mix.
Put an end to the costly dress-up game on the job by using Easy-Spred. For more information, call your American Colloid distributor, or call us direct.
