when mixing material. In hot and humid conditions, the mix should take place in the shade or under covers to prevent an accelerated cure and to ensure that the material stays workable for as long as possible.\u00a0<\/p><p>In order to achieve a homogeneous and even surface, materials must be accurately measured and thoroughly mixed in a forced action pan mixer for the same amount of time before application. Each mix must be mixed for the same time as this is crucial for consistency.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fab651\" data-id=\"3fab651\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4fe86a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b4fe86a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gclproducts.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/SOROTO-replacement-mixer-arms-image-1-RGB.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjI0MDQiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3LmdjbHByb2R1Y3RzLmNvLnVrXC9ibG9nXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC9zaXRlc1wvMTBcLzIwMjFcLzA4XC9TT1JPVE8tcmVwbGFjZW1lbnQtbWl4ZXItYXJtcy1pbWFnZS0xLVJHQi1lMTY2MzkyNjM0ODYyMy5wbmcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gclproducts.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/SOROTO-replacement-mixer-arms-image-1-RGB-e1663926348623-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-2404\" alt=\"SoRoTo mixer spare parts\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gclproducts.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/SOROTO-replacement-mixer-arms-image-1-RGB-e1663926348623-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gclproducts.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/SOROTO-replacement-mixer-arms-image-1-RGB-e1663926348623-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/www.gclproducts.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/SOROTO-replacement-mixer-arms-image-1-RGB-e1663926348623-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.gclproducts.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/08\/SOROTO-replacement-mixer-arms-image-1-RGB-e1663926348623.png 751w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab78898 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab78898\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You should also never mix only part of a batch as it is difficult to get ratios exact and this could affect your end result.
