K Rend R7 Acrylic is a primer used to go onto difficult substrates such as brick in preparation for our K Rend HP 12/HPX Base Coat which is applied whilst the R7 is still tacky.
R7 Acrylic can be applied using a roller or by hand. This modified acrylic emulsion is used to improve the adhesion of K Rend renders to difficult substrates where the background does not provide sufficient key or has poor suction characteristics. The material is usually diluted before use.
Application:
DILUTION
Dilute K Rend R7 Acrylic by pouring the material into clean drinking water
For most applications, a dilution of 1 part K Rend R7 Acrylic to 4 parts water is recommended
Site trials should be carried out to determine the optimum dosage rate

Mix render, ready for application
Apply primer to surface using brush or roller
Apply render to primed background whilst the primer is still wet or tacky
Do not allow primer to skin over or dry before applying render
GAUGING LIQUID
Dilute K Rend R7 Acrylic as required
Use diluted K Rend R7 Acrylic as gauging liquid to mix render
Apply render to substrate as normal
K Rend R7 Acrylic may affect the render performance, including handling properties and setting times
SCUD COAT
Dilute K Rend R7 Acrylic as required
Use diluted K Rend R7 Acrylic as gauging liquid to mix with K Rend HP12 Base into a slurry
Apply as splatter-dash or stipple coat to background
Allow scud coat to cure before rendering
