Elephant Armor® is easy to prepare, just add water. A ColloMix Xo 55 Duo is required for generating the high shear needed to achieve a homogenous mix.
A GST Textured Roller is used to place and evenly spread out the high fiber mix design of Elephant Armor®.
A GST Squeegee Trowel is used to smooth out the Elephant Armor®.
A tining trowel is then applied to the surface to match the existing bridge deck grooved surface.
