Installation Guide

Please note: we always suggest that customers familiarise themselves with the required materials, equipment and the wet pour installation guide before installing the product.

Ensure the area where the RubbaPour is being laid is clean and dry, with all laitance
removed. Ensure for a level surface and a suitable edging material to work up to.
Prime the surface over a reachable arm’s length using a roller or brush ensuring even
wetting.
Mix the rubber granules and binder in bucket using the binder ratio of 18% to the
top layer rubber granules and 10-12% for base SBR granules. (You can make a mark in the bucket to ensure the right amount has been added each time to the same height mark.)
Add the mix to your Crete angle mixer. Mix very thoroughly, the rubber and binder
resin may appear to ball. It should be mixed until no ball is evident.
Empty your mix into wheelbarrow and pour on the primed area. Spread evenly using
your height guides. Use you tamping trowel to compact all the loose particles of
rubber mixture into a tight fit.
For Top surface, use pointed steel trowel lightly lubricated. If any porous spots are
found at this time they can be filled by adding more mixture as necessary. Keep your
trowel lubricated to avoid re-separation of rubber particles.
Various edge options are available. Ramp down edge is often used when finishing
into grass, bark or sand perimeters. Fixed edges used up to hard surrounds such as
concrete or wooden border.
Leave to cure overnight
