1. Mix Xypex with clean water only (water that is free of salt and other deleterious materials).
2. Mix clean water into the Xypex powder with a paddle on a slow speed electric drill (250 RPM) or with other equipment that ensures adequate mixing. For small jobs, Xypex may be mixed by gloved hand or by trowel.
3. Be sure that the quantity mixed can be applied within 20 minutes. As the mixture thickens, stir frequently but do not add water.
