Wenke vir wanneer jy sement meng

Water
Oor die algemeen is dit so dat hoe meer water by ‘n gegewe hoeveelheid sement gevoeg word, hoe swakker is die sement of beton mengsel. Dit is belangrik om eers die minimum hoeveelheid water by te voeg om die sement mengbaar te maak.

Bere plek vir sement
Bere sakkies sement op ‘n opgeligte plek in ‘n vogvrye tuinstoor of bereplek. Sement moet gebruik word in dieselfde volgorde as waarin jy dit koop, omdat sement mettertyd hard word.

Meng
Meet alle materiale akkuraat deur ‘n gepaste houer (kruiwa of emmer) te gebruik. Meng deeglik totdat ‘n egalige kleur verkry word. Voeg water by terwyl gemeng word, wees versigtig vir te veel water.

Droog proses
Beton of pleister moet minstens sewe dae lank klam gehou word om seker te maak die sterkte neem toe. Sproei liggies met water of beskerm die oppervlak met ‘n stuk plastiek om te keer dat dit uitdroog

Hoe  wyd en diep behoort fondasie te wees.
