Product overview
Where is it used?

How is it used?
- Baumit SilikonTop should be gently whisked in it’s tub prior to use to ensure a homogeneous consistency. Up to 1% water can be added to improve workability.
- Surfaces should be clean, dry, free from dust and suitably cured.
- All surfaces must be primed with Baumit Premium Primer prior to application.
- The Baumit SilikonTop is applied with a stainless steel trowel and troweled back to the grit thickness. The surface is then finished with a PVC float using small circular motions.

- It is best to use the same person to finish the whole of each panel to avoid differences in texture mid way.

- Setting times vary with temperature and humidity but in the summer the product will usually be dry enough to resist a shower in a 4-6 hours and sets hard over the next few weeks.
- In winter the initial drying to resist showers may be extended to more than one day so the finished surface must be protected from dust and rain.
- To speed up the setting, even in fog or temperatures down to 1°C, use the Baumit SpeedTop additive.
