DuRock:  Indiana Limestone

Indiana Limestone is a dry blend of cementitious compounds and acrylic resin formulated to give the artisan and applicator the ability to build up textures to simulate limestone finishes.  Indiana Limestone is designed for interior wall applications.  Easy to apply and cost effective, this product has great design potential, as it is ideal for carving logos, embossing designs.  s

Indiana Limestone is available in a 22.7-kilogram bag.

STORAGE & MIXING
Store Indiana Limestone in a dry place away from direct sunlight.  Employ temporary protection measures as needed.  Indiana Limestone cannot be permitted to freeze once it has been mixed with water.

Gradually add one bag of Indiana Limestone dry mix to 4L of water  (1 quart).  Using slow mixing action, mix until a uniform, workable consistency is attained.  Over-mixing may cause air bubbles to appear in the finish.  Let the mixture stand for five minutes, then remix and use.  Discard any material that has begun to stiffen.

APPLICATION & COVERAGE
Prime the drywall with ROA (Roll on Aggregate SA650).  Allow Base Coat primer a minimum of 4 hours to dry prior to applying Indiana Limestone.  

Make sure the surface and ambient temperatures are 10°C (50°F) or greater when applying Indiana Limestone and remain so until it has fully set and dried (minimum of 24 hours).

One bag of Indiana Limestone covers approximately 60 sq ft
