TIP when using Heat Stop Premixed. For best results:
- Mix all of the contents in the container thoroughly before using.
- If, after mixing, the product still appears dry, add a little clean water and remix it thoroughly.
- For firebrick installation, keep the joints 1/16" to 1/8" thick.
This product may take longer to dry if the joints are thciker than 1/8", and/or if conditions are extremely humid (such as after a recent rain). To enhance the drying in such conditions, open the damper, place a fan in front of it, or use other means to get some air or heat passing by the installation.
