Mixing
Water addition: 5.5 to 6 litres per 25kg.
From 4 to 5 minutes with a mortar whisk. Whisk mixer: the mix should be prepared with a whisk mixer at 450 to 500 r.p.m. The manual mixing not recommended. High-speed mixers (more than 500 r.p.m.) can cause the occlusion of a significant proportion of air in the material that modifies its performance.
