How to Apply JPS Coatings Patch 'Em Up:
A. Surface Preparation
1. To maximise the excellent adhesive quality of Patch 'Em Up, make sure that the working area is free of dirt, grime, dust, powdery residue, and other oily substances that might hinder its adhesion.
2. Ensure that the area is dry prior to application.
3. While waiting for the area to dry completely, prepare all the necessary equipment to be used in the application of the product.
B. Mixing of Product
1. Patch 'Em Up is available in a 20 kg bag. Pour the contents into a dry and clean container. Mix one bag (20 kg) of Patch 'Em Up with 5 to 5.3 1/2 litres of clean water.
2. Using a power stirrer or a similar mixing device, stir the mixture thoroughly until the desired lump-free consistency is achieved.
3. Added water must not exceed 5.5 litres per one bag (20 kg) of Patch 'Em Up. Excessive water volume might result in surface crazing, delaminating and cracking.

C. Application of Patch 'Em Up
1. With a hawk and a trowel, apply Patch 'Em Up with a thickness ranging from 2 mm to 4 mm on the wall surface, starting from the bottom proceeding upwards.
2. When the wall is fully covered, smooth the surface with the use of a plastic or polystyrene float or damp sponges.
3. Do not overwork the surface area.
Note:
When applying Patch 'Em up to fibre cement sheeting, first, apply a bedding coat of Polyrend Fine/Polyrend Coarse with an alkaline resistant tape onto the joints and allow to dry. Next, when the joints are thoroughly dried, apply Patch 'Em Up to the entire surface and smoothen with a plastic float. Then, apply a further coating of Patch 'Em Up upon setting of the first coat. Smooth the area with timber or plastic float or damp sponge.
D. Drying/Curing Times of Patch 'Em Up
1. Patch 'Em Up typically dries within 2 to 5 hours after its application at a temperature of 25°C and with relative humidity of 50%.
2. Please take note that drying or curing times can be affected by ambient temperature. So for lower temperature or higher relative humidity, the drying or curing process can take longer.
3. Patch 'Em Up can be over coated with the desired texture coating seven days after its application.
