It's Easy, 3 Simple Steps
1. Combine
Mix Part A component with equal parts of Part B component.
2. Mix
Power mix up to 15 seconds until the mix turns to a cream colour, the marbling is gone, and the container starts to feel warm. This will ensure the best mix for setting your posts. DO NOT over mix.
Pour
Immediately pour the full amount of the mixed Expanda-Crete as a liquid into prepared opening around the post. After roughly 5 to 10 minutes, you can remove the supports. After 1 hour, your posts are securely set.
How it works
How much Expanda-Crete high density post hole foam do you need?
With one Expanda-Crete pack equivalent to around 20 bags of rapid set cement you are going to save a lot of room on your ute.
30mm of Expanda-Crete mix in the bottom of any straight sided hole, will swell to 500mm.
60mm will fill a metre. If there is a post standing in the hole, it doesn’t take very much to fill 30 or 60 mm.
With concrete you need a bigger hole, just to get it down there. Because Expanda-Crete expands with pressure from the bottom, the hole can be smaller and do a better job.
These tables will help you work out how much Expanda-Crete high density post hole foam you will need for your next project.
The Expanda-Crete useage chart is a guide to how many ml required per hole.
Assume standard hole depth is 1000mm
