4. her contaminant elements APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS standard concrete block single unit YJ Before laying a block piece apply two mortar beds on the head of the block the vertical surface that should be joined laterally to the previous unit The center of the mortar cylinder should be around 0 5 12mm from the edge W Test the material consistency by extruding a few inches on a flat surface The mix should flow easily and the cylindrical body surface laid should be continuous and smooth If material is difficult to extrude or texture is not smooth a small amount of water can be added to adjust mix Additional water should not exceed 1 oz or 29 mL Innovative Mortar Solutions Inc Pg 2 of 6 1646 Blaisdale Suite 1400 Richmond TX 77469 4 Apply one single body of mortar on the upper surface of each of the two longer walls of the block The center of the mortar cylinder should be around 0 5 12mm from the edge CP gt aN APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS a course of standard concrete blocks 1 For the first course of block apply two or more beds of material over surface footing You need just enough mortar to make sure that surface irregularities can be adjusted to level out the first course The use of plastic or metal levelers is recommended for highly irregular surfaces Once the first course is laid apply two continuous beds of material along the top length of the blocks see f
5. igure 5 You should cover as much of the length of the course as possible per extrusion to improve productivity Note The next course of blocks should be installed within 10 minutes to avoid material hardening This time frame can vary depending on temperature and humidity The blocks that will be installed for the next course should be placed on the floor along the length of the wall head up approximately 2 ft apart see figure 6 Apply the mix on the head of the blocks see figure 4 This way once the first of these blocks is installed you may advance along the length of the wall to easily find the next units to be laid ready for bonding laterally to the previous piece or CMU Once you finish with the above course repeat steps 2 and 3 Innovative Mortar Solutions Inc 1646 Blaisdale Suite 1400 Richmond TX 77469 A APPLICATION innovative MORTAR SOLUTIONS The joint between blocks will be to be smaller than with traditional mortar given its superior strength A 1 8 joint is recommended You will have a better vertically aligned wall having avoided a thicker joint that could be a source of error Any joint adjustments you may need to comply with standard wall openings are detailed as an annex to this data sheet A INSTRUCTIONS other prefabricated elements T4 Units different than concrete block should receive an adequate amount of mortar to be bonded to
6. t s weight You may also need to cut at the bag s neck an one inch lower from the narrowest area to get a thicker mortar bed Thicker bed WI Another practical way to produce a 3 8 joint is to use block spacers these plastic or metal pieces are widely used and help to keep a uniform joint dimension You simply place the spacers as _ manufacturers recommend and place enough mortar over the piece making sure that the height of the mortar bed surpasses the block spacer This will assure that when the upper block is placed all space between blocks is filed with mortar Please see block spacers manufacturer recommendations for additional information Concrete Block and Brick Spacers Innovative Mortar Solutions Inc 1646 Blaisdale Suite 1400 Richmond TX 77469 IK Innovative MORTAR SOLUTIONS VERTICAL JOINT ADJUSTMENT YI Vertical joints can be adjusted in a very similar way to traditional practice An additional amount of mortar can be placed to get a wider joint LLJ vertical joint filed for adjustement WI Ifthe needed joint is from 1 8 to 1 4 you can place a second bed of material above the first position the unit in place and adjust width to desired dimension YJ For joints from 1 4 to 3 8 the recommended practice is to position the CMU in place at the desired joint dimension and then fill the open joint space with material placing the tip of the bag almost inside the joint to fill
7. the space with a vertical filling movement YJ Wider adjustments are performed by cutting a segment of CMU to reach the desired dimension 1 8 Adjustment _ papaBpapallba Pg 5 of 6 Innovative MORTAR SOLUTIONS IK WALL HEIGHT JOINT ADJUSTMENT YI Wall heights can also be adjusted in a similar way to the traditional practice A piece of CMU is cut horizontally at the desired height to reach the required horizontal level oe ar oh YJ First course leveling is performed through additional mortar beds or a thicker mortar bed through a wider bag tip orifice if base irregularities are not too deep If base surface is deeply irregular the commonly used height adjusting plastic levelers can also be used Innovative Mortar Solutions Inc Pg 6 of 6 1646 Blaisdale Suite 1400 Richmond TX 77469
