FAQ
- Is Elephant Armor an exothermic material, and how does temperature affect curing?
- Yes, Elephant Armor generates heat as it cures. Heat, volume, and direct sunlight will expedite the curing process and cause the mortar to stiffen quickly.
- How can mixing water temperature be used alongside EA Delay to manage working time?
- In hot summer months, use ice-cold mixing water alongside EA Delay to extend working time. In cold winter months, use warmer mixing water to expedite the exothermic curing process.
